Randy's Donuts is a donut (doughnut) shop in Inglewood, California, known throughout the United States for its novelty architecture, consisting of a 32.5-foot (9.9 m) diameter donut on the roof of an otherwise ordinary drive-through bakery. Randy's was built in 1953, decades after the heyday of such architecture in Southern California, which saw the construction of a number of buildings in the shape of the products they sold. Randy's is one of five remaining locations of the Big Donut chain, each of which features the distinctive giant donut, but Randy's remains the most well-known.Photo credit: Carol M. Highsmith
