Randy’s Donuts, the most iconic and recognized donut shop in the world, is opening its first location in Phoenix on April 23.
Randy’s is rolling out the glazed carpet with local entrepreneur Brian Padilla, who has plans to open multiple franchised locations in the state of Arizona, New Mexico & El Paso, Texas, according to a press release.
The first Randy’s Donuts in Phoenix will do a soft open at 5709 N. 7th St. on April 23. The store will open daily at 5 a.m., the release states.
“People know Randy’s Donuts from all our appearances in movies and television shows and they love us because our donuts are delicious,” said Mark Kelegian, owner of Randy’s Donuts. “We have a lot of guests from Phoenix visiting our landmark location in Inglewood, California. We think Brian and his team are going to have a lot of fans when they open.”
Mr. Padilla says he is excited to be part of the 70-year legacy of Randy’s Donuts.
“Randy’s is the most recognizable donut shop in the world. Our local ownership team also includes Richard Suzuki, and Carlos Munoz,” he said. “We’re all very honored to be a part of its amazing 70+ year legacy and share these delicious donuts with our amazing city.”
Founded in 1952 and best known for its 32-foot giant rooftop donut of the original location in Inglewood, Randy’s Donuts has over 60 different varieties of classic, deluxe, fancy, and premium donuts along with Randy’s Rounds (Randy’s Donuts’ much larger version of a donut hole) and more.
For over 70 years Randy’s Donuts has made every donut by hand, using exclusive proprietary ingredients that produce a donut that is fluffier, larger and stays fresh longer.
