Southwest Austin residents had to wait an extra five months before they could enjoy The Donut Hole's treats.
Co-owner Rick Landry said the bakery, scheduled to open Aug. 1, was delayed due to a permitting issue. He said he had to start the permitting process over with a new contractor. The Donut Hole opened in early December.
"Everybody that comes in asks, 'What the heck has been taking so long?'" he said. "We're happy there. There's been a great response."
It is the bakery's third location. Landry opened in Lakeway five-and-a-half years ago. He partnered with Deborah Roberts to open a second location in Steiner Ranch in 2010.
