Member Spotlight
Please welcome Mike Lescano, franchise owner of Airdrie's Maverick's Donut Company to the Airdrie Chamber of Commerce!

Maverick’s Donut Company began operations in 2016 with one small location in the heart of central Ottawa. Spending the first four years perfecting its recipes, and building a name for itself in Ottawa, the company quickly became recognized for being the one true “Maverick” of the local donut world.

When the pandemic hit in 2020, Maverick’s Donuts refined its concept and successfully opened its first suburban location in Ottawa’s west end. With so much hype leading up to its opening, Maverick’s saw its highest single-location sales ever. With sales continuing on trajectory throughout the pandemic, Maverick’s Donut Company successfully defined what it was to be a flourishing retail donut shop.

Welcome to Airdrie Maverick's! We look forward to enjoying all the deliciousness! Gluten-free and vegan options available so you can eat your donut and eat it too!
