Daylight Donuts of Portales

Founded in 1954, Daylight Donuts began with a light donut mix created by Tommy and Lucille Day in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The family-owned Daylight Donut Flour Company now supplies signature donut products through hundreds of independently owned retail outlets across the United States. Its signature yeast-raised donuts are made from the original light-textured recipe developed by the founders. The business supports licensees who operate Daylight Donuts shops in communities nationwide, including Dallas. Daylight Donuts also offers partnership opportunities for entrepreneurs interested in operating a shop. Its history includes retail distribution, manufacturing growth, and continued product development under successive ownership.
