More Than Just Donuts - A Family - Owned Restaurant in Whiteville, NC
Serving More Than Just Food
In 1992, in the quiet heart of Whiteville, North Carolina, Mary Harrelson stepped out on faith and opened the doors to what would become a beloved hometown treasure—The Donut Shop & Restaurant. With deep faith and belief that He would guide her path, Mary followed a calling that was bigger than just starting a business. She believed that if she stayed faithful and worked hard, God would provide—and He did. In the very beginning, it was just donuts. Early mornings started long before sunrise, with her sister Sherry Pate in the kitchen mixing, rolling, and frying each batch by hand.
