Randy's Donuts Expands to Japan

In an exciting development for donut enthusiasts, Randy's Donuts, an iconic brand from Los Angeles, is set to further its footprint in Japan with the opening of its third location, Randy's Donuts Tokyo Gift Palette store. Scheduled to grand open in early December 2025, this new outlet will be strategically situated within the bustling Tokyo Station, allowing easy access for travelers and commuters alike.

Founded in 1952, Randy's Donuts is known for its massive rooftop donut sign and has been a staple in Los Angeles culture, appearing in numerous films and music videos. The franchise agreement between Grit International Co., Ltd., headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, and JR Tokai Retailing Plus, based in Nagoya, marks a significant step in bringing this beloved brand to Japan. Grit International has successfully launched its first two stores in Japan in May and September 2025, respectively, and they have received overwhelming support from customers.

The Tokyo Gift Palette store will be a takeout-only establishment, providing a splendid selection of over 40 distinct donut varieties, along with merchandise like T-shirts and other goodies. Located right outside the Yaesu North Ticket Gate, it is perfectly positioned for those looking to grab a treat before their train journey, making it an ideal stop for souvenirs or snacks.
