Who We Are?
Since 1979, Lee’s Donuts has been a staple of the Granville Island Public Market in Vancouver, B.C. We make handmade, quality, classic donuts based on the original recipes developed by founders Alan and Betty-Ann Lee.
What started as a mom-and-pop shop has evolved into a high-volume cultural icon. As Seen on Netflix, our brand is driven by an obsession with delivering exceptional quality, made fresh daily.
Our vision is to scale this legacy through strategically located, beautifully designed stores that cater directly to massive consumer demand. We aren't just opening donut shops;
we are setting the standard for the market and positioning our partners lightyears ahead of the competition.
Marketing & ‘Outside of the Box’ Energy
We don’t just sell donuts; we create cultural moments. We invest heavily back into our marketing engine to drive foot traffic and undeniable brand loyalty to your store.
Community & Collabs
We leverage our "Outside of the Box" platform for creative drops, limited runs, and unexpected collaborations (like our FVDED in the Park Strawberry Lemonade takeover).
Comprehensive Digital Presence
From targeted social media and Google ads to high-visibility PR management for your grand opening.
Influencer & Media Integration
We engage local media, radio, and food influencers with extensive followings to guarantee your location launches with real-world energy and sustained momentum.
