Yonutz soon will be smashing up doughnuts (in Cherokee Triangle)

Both come from Florida, but Yonutz should never be mistaken for Stugotz

Last year, Yonutz materialized in Louisville, and here at F & D, we added this listing.

Yonutz (12939 Shelbyville Rd.)
A Florida chain purveyor of dessert treats comes to Middletown with requisite self-confidence: “a world where the ordinary is smashed.” In essence, the result is ice cream is “smashed” between the halves of a doughnut, with numerous flavors of both available for mixing and matching.

When I was younger, I quite enjoyed getting smashed, but in my dotage, the connotations have evolved.

Now Cherokee Triangle can be added as a second franchise iteration, officially called Yonutz Franchise-ical Fantastical Donuts and Ice Cream. Reporting at Louisville Business First, the ever intrepid Michael L. Jones has a look.

Yonutz to open new Highlands location in April

A South Florida-based dessert chain will open its second Greater Louisville location in the Highlands in April. Yonutz Fantastical Donuts and Ice Cream will be located at 1449 Bardstown Road in a nearly 3,000-square-foot space next to Green District Salads.

Ben Hiner said the Highlands location will be based on Yonutz’s new “clawcade” concept, featuring skill-based, high-tech machines inside the dessert shop. “It’s gonna have a bunch of arcade-type claw machines, like Japanese-style machines, so you win the stuffed animals and all that kind of stuff,” Hiner said. “It’s a big section for claw machines and arcade games and other stuff for the kids.”

Smash-nuts and clawcades?

April, grasshopper. April.
