Randy's Donuts, the popular Los Angeles-based donut shop operated by Grit International Co., Ltd.

About Randy's Donuts
Randy's Donuts is a beloved donut shop that opened in Los Angeles in 1952. The store is particularly famous for its giant donut-shaped sign on the roof of the original U.S. location, measuring approximately 10 meters (32 feet) in diameter. This iconic landmark has long been a symbol of the city, appearing in popular movies and music videos as one of Los Angeles' most recognizable landmarks.
The first Japanese location, "Randy's Donuts Shibuya Daikanyama," opened in May last year and has generated significant buzz. The store features Randy's Donuts' signature giant donut-shaped sign (approximately 4 meters in diameter) in front of the building. Inside, a large showcase measuring approximately 3 meters high and 2.7 meters wide displays up to about 1,000 handmade donuts daily, featuring over 40 varieties with diverse designs.
Following the success of the Daikanyama location, the brand opened its first takeout-only store, "Randy's Donuts Shinjuku EATo LUMINE," in September, and in December launched "Randy's Donuts Tokyo Gift Palette," the first franchise location in Japan within Tokyo Station. The brand continues to expand actively to reach more customers.
