    About The Fractured Prune

    ""The FRACTURED PRUNE has been an Ocean City, MD landmark for 30 years. It has been a tradition for many donut lovers far and wide. These donut lovers line up in the early morning, around the block in the anticipation of creating and tasting their own creation. The FRACTURED PRUNE DONUT SHOPPE is a Specialty shop for donuts. What makes these just so special is the way they are created by you. "You create em, we make em!" Our donuts come out hot and crispy on the outside and light and moist on the inside. We then take the donuts and dip them in any one of our homemade glazes of your choice, which you can top with an assortment of delectable toppings. These donuts are loved by kids of all ages. There is nothing sweeter than being able to create and have a HOT DONUT at anytime of the day. Many inquiries have been made to expand our locations, so that the donuts could be more than a tradition for people. They could be an everyday indulgence. So with great pride, we have decided to franchise. If you are interested in owning what we believe will be the next fastest growing franchise in the coming year, feel free to fill out the Questionnaire.
