Yonutz Donut Shop Opening in Miramar
The donut and arcade brand Yonutz is opening a new store in Miramar, Florida. A local franchisee plans to open the new location in late spring. The store will be located at The Fountains of Miramar shopping center.
- The Miramar location will be the second in the company to feature a "YoClawz!" arcade area, which will have eight claw machines for guests to play. - Yonutz was founded in 2018 in Sunrise, Florida, by Tony and Jenny Bahu. The couple still lives nearby in Weston and has a sister in Miramar, making the new location personally significant. - The brand is known for its signature "SMASH Donut," a hot-pressed donut filled with ice cream and various toppings. This creation has won the "Dessert Wars" competition multiple times. - After its initial success, the company partnered with Kevin Harrington from NBC's "Shark Tank" to expand the franchise nationwide. - In addition to its smashed donuts, the menu also includes regular donuts, "Smashed Milkshakes" topped with a donut, and even breakfast sandwiches served on a donut. - The store's interior design will likely feature Instagram-friendly elements like custom murals and neon signs, a concept rolled out as part of a company rebrand to create a "whimsical dessert wonderland experience." - The Fountains of Miramar is a high-traffic shopping center with major tenants like Home Depot, Ross, and Marshalls, and is situated near Memorial Hospital Miramar and NBC Miami, providing a large potential customer base.
