Meet the Crew
The behind-the-scenes people who make it happen. We know the donut industry inside and out — and we're here to make sure your business venture is a success. If you don't succeed, we don't succeed.
Family-Owned Since 1974
It started back in 1974, when founder Ed Anderson decided to reinvent the mini donut machine. After several trips to the drawing board, the Anderson family opened their first indoor mini donut shop. Watching hundreds of people wait hours in line for a bag of sugary donuts, it quickly became clear there simply weren't enough Andersons to remain a bakery business.
So they sold their first operation and started a new one — a business plan that became the Lil' Orbits manufacturing company. We don't sell donuts anymore. We sell financial freedom, an all-American dream that's still alive and well across more than 100 countries.
