The tweet went viral, and in the days following, the store has attracted a lot of customers and has had to take to social media again to say it has been difficult to meet the demand:

Thank you for all of the continued support! You #donut know how much this means to us. Please remember that my mom & dad are trying their best to accommodate everyone and their donut cravings! We hope everyone can understand that we may be selling out early due to the high demand
