Randy's Donuts - Fuji GS645S - Reala 100

Randy's Donuts

805 West Manchester Avenue

Inglewood, Los Angeles County, California 90301

 

Randy's Donuts was built in 1953 as part of the Big Donut Drive-In chain.   It was sold in 1976 to Robert Eskow who named it Randy's Donuts after his son.   In 1978 brothers Ron and Larry Weintraub bought it and are the current owners.

 

I see this place almost every day from the 405.   Chances are you have seen it in a movie or TV show, as it has appeared in many over the years.   I have never seen it without a line of customers waiting.

 

The giant donut sign/sculpture is constructed with a steel rebar frame and covered with Gunnite, a spray on concrete often used for the sides of swimming pools.
