HOUSTON – Hundreds of doughnut lovers showed up for the grand opening of the first Voodoo Doughnut in Houston Wednesday morning. The donut shop, located at 3715 Washington Ave, is also the first one to feature a drive-thru that operates 24/7. Voodoo Doughnut founders, Kenneth “Cat Daddy” Pogson and Tres Shannon, held a ribbon-cutting ceremony that featured giant pink scissors, confetti and mariachi band Mariachi Calmecac.
