Within their first year in business, The Salty Donut upgraded from a pop-up mobile shop to two brick-and-mortars in Wynwood and South Miami, and it has since become a household name for South Florida locals, even gaining national attraction from foodies all over the country. Amanda has since earned herself a spot on Forbes 30 under 30, and numerous other awards and achievements.
Amanda and her team are now leading the company into much bigger and better things as they continue to grow with 5 shops nationwide.
