[H2] A Rich History of Delicious.
In 1954, Tommy and Lucille Day set out to create a new kind of donut mix — one with a distinctively light texture and flavor. The Day’s light donut recipe became Daylight Donuts. And over the years, their Tulsa-based enterprise grew into a network of hundreds of independently owned retail outlets nationwide.
