Doughnut Shop Expansion
Popular doughnut shop Round Rock Donuts is expanding into Cedar Park, as reported by the Williamson Reporter and confirmed by Austin 360. This second location will be found at 1614 East Whitestone Boulevard with a bakery, drive-thru, and a walk-up window, though there is no projected opening date yet. The doughnut shop first opened in 1926 under owner Reinhold R. Moehring, who developed the signature doughnut — a classic glazed doughnut —in the early 1940s, according to the bakery’s website. It relocated from its original address on Main Street to West Liberty Avenue in 1970 under then-owner Charlie Baird. The current owner is Cathy Guderyahn. It’s currently open for takeout services via its walk-up window and drive-thru.
