The story Cited · wp-ted-ngoy
Christy's had not done well under its previous owners. It did well under the Ngoys, and they kept the name uniform across the shops they added — by 1979 more than 25 of them, by 1987 thirty-two, and at the peak Ngoy reckoned sixty-five. Ngoy and his wife took the American names Ted and Christy when they became citizens in 1985.
The shops were leased out to relatives and to refugee families Ngoy sponsored, which is how one shop turned into a trade for a community.

Shops trading as Christy's Donuts still exist in Southern California. This project has not verified which, if any, descend from the Ngoy shops, and does not claim it.
