Whether you’re a fan of classic American movies or just can’t get enough of The Simpsons, chances are you’ve seen at least one callback to Randy’s Donuts and the massive donut on the top of the building. It epitomizes Americana fast food, and thanks to its prominent role in so much pop culture entertainment, it has become an icon in its own right (unfortunately for lovers of morning breakfast buffets, Big Boy was unable to do the same). The chain has slowly popped up in various corners of the country, and recently, it made the move to Phoenix. The location in the Valley won’t be by its lonesome for long though, as a second Randy’s Donuts is coming to metro Phoenix very soon.
It has been just four months since the very first Randy’s Donuts opened in Phoenix at 5709 North 7th Street. While it did so with the help of an inflatable giant donut (which was supposed to be replaced by a permanent donut, but instead there is a smaller statue on the inside of the building), it nonetheless drew in hungry donut lovers.
The opening performed so well, and the shop continues to impress, that the brand has announced it will be opening a second location before the end of the month. The shop likely will also go without any of the massive stone donuts on the outside of the building. This is because it is not a stand-alone donut restaurant, but instead, it will be part of the all-new Pilot Travel Center located at 17405 South 40th Street in Phoenix.
This new Travel Center is off of the 202 loop, which will make it a bit of a challenge for most residents to get to. However, if you drive south to Tucson on the I-10, you might be able to hop off and grab yourself a donut as you fill up. Or, if you like to head out to the casino, you can at least grab yourself a tasty treat to help nurse whatever monetary losses you might have suffered (or reward yourself for the winnings).
The Randy’s Donuts location will have a drive-through window and will also open at 6 AM.
Some of the classic donuts include a glazed raised, chocolate raised, sprinkled iced cake, plain cake, cinnamon crumb cake, and chocolate iced cake. Deluxe donuts include pink raised with sprinkles, glazed twist, chocolate old fashioned, chocolate Long John, and lemon old fashioned.
