Baker's Dozen Donut Corporation is a doughnut store operator in the Canadian province of Ontario. Its name is a reference to the term baker's dozen, meaning thirteen items (one item more than a regular dozen).

Overview[]

The company was founded in 1977 by Peter and Ted Paraskakis.[1][2][3]

The chain operated over 100 stores, mostly in the Greater Toronto, Ontario area. Expansion came in the late 1980s, but it remained a small scale operation. Stores were chain-owned or franchised.

The 100th location opened late 1993. At that time it was the 4th largest doughnut chain in Ontario, having grown 43% over the previous four years.[4]

Advertisements[]

The store has several slogans:[citation needed]

  • "Not Just Donuts..."
  • "You Always Get More In A Baker's Dozen!"
