About Divine Donuts

Becky Yelverton's father opened the first stand-alone donut shop in Mississippi in 1959, and it was an immediate success. She grew up learning to work every aspect of the business. In 1979, she came to Vicksburg with her husband and two children to assume an existing donut operation.

In 1989, another store was opened. During this time, two more children were added to the family, and they grew up in the business....literally.... sleeping under the counter during the early morning hours while Becky and her husband were preparing the donuts. All four children grew up working in the business. According to his 1st grade teacher, the youngest was able to count change faster than any other child in his class! The business grew, and a third store was opened in 2001.

In 2015, an opportunity became available to design and manufacture a unique donut flour blend. The required facility and equipment were put in place and in August of 2016, Divine Donuts was born!
