Since its launch in 2018, Yonutz has gone mad on social networks and has become famous Internet for its fanciful and broken donuts.
“Fucking and ice cream are probably the two favorite desserts in America,” said Tony Bahu, CEO and founder of the brand. “So, put them together in a single dessert and that does wonders.”
The buzz has traveled here, with the channel based in Florida opening its first location in Louisville, 12939 Shelbyville Road, continued 101, at the end of February by local franchisees Ben and Amanda Hiner. The husband and the wife have another trading partner in their 21 -year -old son, Austin, whose love of donuts inspired the involvement of the family with Yonutz.
Ben Hiner told Courier Journal that they had examined 100 different donut companies before signing with Bahu.
“We fell in love with Yonutz,” said Hiner. “We knew it was this one.”
And they have major projects beyond a Yonutz. The Hiner crew hopes to open at least 20 locations in the next five or six years in Kentucky, Cincinnati and Indiana.
Since the opening of the doors of Yonutz, business has been regularly occupied, “much more than what we expected or think,” said Hiner.
