Where to find the original Randy’s Donuts
The original Randy’s Donuts stands at 805 W Manchester Boulevard in Inglewood, California. The City of Inglewood’s public-art project identifies the building as a landmark and dates it to 1953.
The building was a Mid-Century Modern drive-up restaurant, part of a drive-through doughnut chain that no longer operates. Its rooftop doughnut is the defining feature: the city project reports that structural engineer Richard Bradshaw designed it using rolled steel bars covered with gunite, while qualifying that attribution as reported rather than certain.
Randy’s describes the Inglewood shop as its original location and says the brand has been world famous since 1952. The distinctive sign later inspired replicas on shops across the region as the brand expanded.
