After a son tweeted a photo of his said father, lonely because there were no customers at his new doughnut shop in Texas, the Twitterverse responded and his father is lonely no more. (KPRC/UGC)

Some people encouraged locals to visit the shop and they listened.

Billy By said, “We were actually closed yesterday so people wanted to come but I told them we were closed and I just told them to come tomorrow morning. I guess they followed through.”

By said he was overwhelmed by all the support he got just from a couple of tweets.
