The bakery first opened in 1963 in Monterrey Park California. Working out of a converted garage selling homemade treats to walk up customers, the donut shop quickly gained a reputation for quality and freshness. It wasn’t long until they outgrew their humble beginnings and saw a great opportunity to move to fabulous Las Vegas.
Moving to Las Vegas was a big step for founder Lyn Curnutt, and she started her new enterprise at the Wonder World store located on Decatur. Soon after, the bakery began to establish a local following that the company still enjoys today. Carl’s Donuts continued to prosper and eventually settled into a location at 501 South Highland Drive. There, the company spent 20 proud years serving the local community its hot, freshly baked goods, and then started a wholesale delivery business. As a result, customers named Carl’s Donuts “Best Tasting Donuts” in the Review-Journal’s “The Best of Las Vegas.” This helped establish long-term business relationships with many convenience stores in the Las Vegas valley.
After its success at this location, Carl’s Donuts needed to move again, this time to a 23,000 square foot facility at 6350 Sunset Corporate Drive. The brand new facility allowed for continued growth in the wholesale service productions, eventually replacing its retail operations.
Today, Carl’s Donuts now has over 500 customers and serves nearly one million donuts and pastries each month. Under the direction of Lyn’s daughter Ranee Ramsay and son Keith (Sanders), the company’s future looks brighter than ever. Plans to expand to other areas are in the works and a return to the retail market is anxiously being planned for the near future.
Carl’s Donuts is famous for their Sour Cream Old Fashion Donut, the hand made Apple Fritter,
and the plump Blueberry Muffin. As with many of its products, the process
is still done by hand and made fresh daily. In today’s day and age, several of its competitors bring machine made mass produced products to the consumer. Carl’s Donuts takes pride in providing the community with quality products at a reasonable price each and every day. With this commitment to quality, Carl’s Donuts looks forward to continued growth and many more years of serving the
Las Vegas community. |
