Business had been slow for Billy’s Donuts in Missouri City, Texas, which opened only last week, according to NBC News.

So the owner’s son, Billy, posted a tweet on Saturday evening with pictures of his dad Satharith at the counter of his empty store.

“My dad is sad cause no one is coming to his new donut shop,” Billy captioned the post.

No, they do not look particularly juicy, but the colors are spot-on. Most of all, it just looks like a really good yeast donut.

Overall, it seems that that customers were big fans of the breakfast treat, including local resident Clayton Cheatum, who delivered a delightful review to local NBC affiliate KSN. Read more…
