As some of you may know, this year we at Primo's are privileged to celebrate 70 years of business here in Los Angeles!

One morning in 1956, Ralph and Celia Primo made the fateful decision to stop at a small donut shop to buy a treat for their son. What should have been a simple purchase became the beginning of a small business that would span decades, supporting a young family and feeding an entire community.

We are honored to carry on the love and dedication to our customers and our craft that Mr. and Mrs. Primo began all those years ago. And we're ready to celebrate our big anniversary!

Join us Saturday morning, August 22, as we will be offering our famous buttermilk bites to all our customers in honor of our momentous occasion!

We'll be sharing more history and updates in the coming days, so stay tuned for more news on our 70 year celebration! We cant wait to see you!

Primo's Donuts will be open regular business hours starting Saturday!

As many may have noticed, we have been closed the last few days. Sadly, much needed repairs to our aging facilities were required!

But thanks to diligent work from our local technicians, we resolved these urgent issues and now happily resume our normal business hours!

We appreciate all of our customers' patience, and deeply apologize for any inconvenience due to our sudden closure.

But we thank everyone, as always, for their love and support of our small family shop. And we look forward to once again making the hottest and freshest donuts for LA this weekend ❤️

From all of us at Primo's Donuts, we want to wish everyone a happy Father's Day!

Today we show our appreciation to all the dads, step-dads, grandpas, great grandpas, and father figures who have touched our lives!

And of course, for us we remember our founder, Mr. Ralph Primo. From opening a donut shop on whim to support his family, to the many acts of service he provided for his community, Mr. Primo's tireless dedication to his donut craft, his city and his wife, children and grandchildren, continue to inspire us.

So join us in thanking all the wonderful fathers who have shaped our lives, as we thank the one who helped make our donuts and our family shop the place it is today!

Father's Day is almost here, and at Primo's, we're feeling truly appreciative of all the father figures in our lives!

From our own Mr. Primo, whose hard work made our donuts (like our classic buttermilk) the LA classics they are today, to the generations of fathers, grandfathers and even great-grandfathers, who have shared precious moments with their families at our humble shop, we are so grateful for their strength, courage and love.

To show our appreciation, this Father's Day weekend we're offering a 25% discount on all gift cards purchased at our store! They're perfect gifts to give dad, along with one of our new Pecan Caramel Crunch donuts, or any of our traditional cake, raised, and, of course, buttermilk donuts!

We can't wait to share all our favorite donuts with you this weekend, so stop on by, we can't wait to see you!
