A new place for doughnuts, ice cream and arcade fun is ready just in time for summer vacation.
Yonutz opened this week at 2802 W. 41st St. in a retail center east of Kiwanis Avenue.
The concept is being franchised by Kim and Matt Cerwick, who also operate a Pizza Ranch in Mitchell.
Yonutz specializes in smashed doughnuts, combining hot-pressed doughnuts and ice cream together for a dozen combinations such as Birthday Cake, which combines birthday cake ice cream, vanilla drizzle, confetti sprinkles and Little Debbie birthday cake. The Pebble Rebel is strawberry ice cream topped with vanilla drizzle, Trix, Fruity Pebbles and Cap’n Crunch.
There’s also a menu of smashed milkshakes that include a mini doughnut, plus more traditional doughnuts and ice cream options.
The Cerwicks also are using part of the space for a claw machine arcade called Clawz.
It includes 10 claw machines in a format that allows players to trade up for larger prizes as they win.
Yonutz benefits from a huge following on social media platforms, including YouTube and TikTok.
Angelo Bahu, who has millions of digital followers, began promoting his family’s company online as a teenager. It gained support from Kevin Harrington of “Shark Tank” fame, who helped with franchising.
Hours are 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
