Parlor Doughnuts

The Parlor Story is one of rich celebration of history and hospitality. Founded by Darrick Hayden and Josh Tudela in Evansville, Indiana, in February 2019, Parlor Doughnuts takes inspiration from the cherished tradition of hosting guests in the coziest room of the home—the parlor. While the humble doughnut has its roots in the early 1800s, its significance soared during WWI, thanks to the legendary Doughnut Lassies who provided comfort and a taste of home to soldiers on the front lines. Parlor Doughnuts honors this legacy by crafting delicious treats that evoke nostalgia and joy. At Parlor, we’re more than doughnuts—we’re a community! Join us in savoring the warmth of hospitality, the sharing of sweet treats, and the fellowship found in exchanged smiles. With franchise opportunities available in all 50 states, come and be a part of the Parlor Story!
