Donut Wheel
Donut Wheel is a doughnut shop. It was established in 1962, and is a landmark in Livermore, California. It is located at the intersection of the city's four quadrants. The Donut Wheel (then "Jack's Donut Wheel") was started in 1962 by Jack and Jean Weil. The Donut Wheel got its name from a suggestion from a man who worked with Jack at Stemple's. He said that he should call it the Donut Wheel because that is how people pronounced his name, “wheel” instead of Weil (pronounced, "while"). Jack and Jean sold Jack's Donut Wheel in 1972. Since then it has changed hands a few times, but kept the name.The building was erected in 1941, as a Purity grocery store. It was remodeled in 1958 by Hans Joachim Schiller, and is an example of Googie architecture. Hans Joachim Schiller was a German architect who fled Nazi Germany to Palestine and then established himself in Marin County after World War II. Before the grocery store, the site was occupied by an 1800s building called the Washington Hotel.
