The Mister Donut business became so popular that others began to crave for a piece of Mr. Winouker's idea. To address this demand, Mr. Winouker went into franchising, selling franchises to entrepreneurs provided that his standards of Quality, Service, and Cleanliness were upheld. As a result, Mister Donut began a rapid expansion that resulted in the opening of 275 stores in the United States of America and Canada.
In 1970, Minneapolis-based International Multifoods, one of the world’s largest and most successful food companies, acquired Mister Donut and its franchising concept from Mr. Winouker. This served to elevate Mister Donut to even greater heights.
On the 31st of March 1987, Elie G. Saheb and associates acquired the Mister Donut Trade Mark rights for the United Kingdom and opened the first Mister Donut bakery and pilot shop in Fulham, London .
