— a pillowy-soft clamshell of sweet, glazed dough stuffed embarrassingly full with ripe, red fruit. But the store’s Glendora location, at least a 30-minute drive from downtown L.A. , had for decades relegated the treats to a special-occasion detour, or perhaps a stop on the way to Las Vegas.
Starting in February, the Donut Man will occupy a stall in downtown’s historic Grand Central Market, finally extending its sweet, sticky reach into Los Angeles proper. But despite the popular and critical success of the shop over the years, the Nakanos never expanded the business.With Grand Central, the timing seems right, general manager Aaron Wearp said.
The shop will feature 18 racks of doughnuts, many of which will be familiar to fans of the Donut Man. The fresh peach donuts will be there during the summer, as will the famous strawberry-filled doughnuts. The opening of the shop is being timed, not coincidentally, to the beginning of strawberry doughnut season, which runs through approximately September.
when are they opening in Grand Central?
Yes, except they were not THE Donut Man donuts and they were in the wrong box 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
This picture made me love food illustrations as ads! Happy to have found the origin story. 😋
