No One Showed Up to His Donut Shop’s Opening, So His Son Asked Twitter For Help

When Twitter user Billy By posted about his father being sad because of the low turnout for his doughnut shop’s grand opening, the internet answered with roaring support.

On March 9, Billy (@hibillyby) shared that his father was sad because “no one is coming to his new doughnut shop.”

The family opened the doughnut shop, Billy’s Donut, last Thursday, according to one of Billy’s reply tweets. The business is named after him.

He loves me. I don’t deserve this
