Founded in Melbourne, Australia by visionary entrepreneur
Exarhos Sourligas, better known as Mr. Ex, Lukumades began with a
food truck before quickly boasting a significant presence in its
hometown and across the globe, from the United Arab Emirates,
Taiwan, Singapore, and now the U.S.
“Our journey to the U.S. marks an exciting new chapter for
Lukumades,” said Mr. Ex, CEO and founder of Lukumades. “We are
proud to introduce our irresistible vegan-friendly Greek doughnuts,
homemade gelato and freshly ground coffees to Americans. The U.S.
market’s vibrant culture and diverse culinary scene presents an
incredible opportunity to share our delicious little doughnut balls
with a completely new audience.”
Inspired by its founder’s own Greek time-honored family
traditions, Lukumades perfectly captures the essence of traditional
loukoumades in every bite with a golden crunch exterior and fluffy
inside. From honey and cinnamon for traditionalists to lavish
offerings like caramel, matcha and golden maple syrup for those
with decadent tastes, the unique flavor and texture of Lukumades’
doughnuts are defining the brand as a favorite among doughnut
enthusiasts, foodies and families alike.
Lukumades selected St. John as its U.S. agency of record to
support its expansion. With 40 years of experience in the food and
beverage industry, Jacksonville-based St. John will serve as a
pivotal partner for Lukumades’ growth in the U.S.
“Consumers are craving Lukumades’ fresh, modern take on a
traditional concept, and we’re thrilled to be a part of its U.S.
expansion,” said Jenifer Boyd Harmon, EVP at St. John. “With our
track record of growing franchises like Zaxby’s and our extensive
branding legacy, we’re confident Lukumades will quickly become a
beloved addition to the American doughnut scene.”
Franchise opportunities will soon follow for entrepreneurs
across the U.S. to have the chance to join the Lukumades
family.
