Should a similar building, appearing in the Simpsons (I think?) merit a mention? Rhymeless

This place was also featured in an Arrested Development Episode: Pier Pressure from Season 1.
[edit] From a reader
From the article: "One of only three similar buildings that survive in the area (the other two are in Los Angeles and La Puente), Randy's was built in 1953 as part of the now-defunct Big DoNut chain and is the lone remaining example."
According to the Randy's own website, that location was built in 1952. And it is not the lone example. At least three other Big Donut Drive-In locations still exist:
Kindle's Donuts at 10003 S. Normandie, L.A. is the original location, built in 1950 Donut King II at 15032 S Western Ave in Gardenia (date built unknown) Dale's Donuts at 15904 S Atlantic Ave in Compton (date built unknown)
Each features Robert Graham's giant donut sculpture, each is still open.
