Glendora’s Iconic Donut Man Shop Coming to Grand Central Market

There’s welcome news out of the Los Angeles Times today. Glendora-based The Donut Man will open a stall in Grand Central Market this February. Owner Jim Nakano launched the business in 1972, and generations of people continue to line up for his massive, glazed strawberry donuts. While the Glendora kitchen cranks out seasonal donuts 24 hours a day, the Grand Central Market location will do so from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day, right next to Eggslut and Villa Moreliana.
