Ronnie Picou, founder of Mr. Ronnie’s Famous Hot Donuts, died earlier this year at 79. Picou opened his doughnut shop in 1994 and, although he retired in 2002, was still the face of the restaurants and visited them often. In 2017, the company launched a food truck that visited several locations around Baton Rouge with a limited menu.
The company did not say when or where it would be opening in Cut-Off.
