(WTVM) - Donut King is relocating for the first time in six decades, moving about a mile down the road to give customers more space and parking.</p><p>The shop has been on the corner of South Eufaula Avenue and Washington Street for more than 60 years. It is now moving into the old Taco Bell building on South Eufaula Avenue.</p><h2>Customers share memories</h2><p>Longtime customers said the shop holds memories from childhood.</p><p>“My grandma bringing them to me early in the morning, the first time I ever tasted a jelly donut. I didn’t know what it was,” Stephon said.</p><p>“When I was little, really little, my mom would take me as a reward for going to swim at the community center pool. I would go get doughnuts afterwards,” Beth Anne said.</p><p>“You walk in the door, they call you by name, they know you,” Mary said.</p><p>Mary Davis has been a customer for more than 50 years. She said she used to go there for doughnuts and chili dogs with her late son.</p><p>“It’s really outgrown where it was, but that’s a landmark. That place has been there all my life,” Mary said.</p><p>“Just having places like that brings back memories, touches me,” she said.</p><h2>Reason for the move</h2><p>The move was done to expand the space and provide more parking for customers coming in from Eufaula and beyond.</p><p>“It brings in a lot of revenue because they’re famous, they’re world famous. You’re not going to find a better doughnut nowhere in the United States of America. Number one,” Stephon said.</p><h2>Waiting on permits</h2><p>The shop has been closed for about a week while finalizing renovations. Donut King is waiting on city permits and equipment parts before opening the new location.</p><p>The shop had originally planned to reopen this week but ran into delays getting the new location ready for business. The owners have been posting updates on Facebook, saying they are working to open sooner rather than later.</p><p>“I have to go to Donut King, yes, yes. This time I couldn’t because they were moving locations which was tough, but next time I will get twice as many doughnuts to make up for it,” Beth Anne said.</p><p>“I’d put their donuts up against any donut anywhere,” Mary said.</p><p>“I have had doughnuts from other places and every time I had one I was like, well this is not as good as Donut King. I think its reputation has expanded past the city limits for sure,” Beth Anne said.</p></div></body>
