Halo includes a permanent doughnut menu that includes a vanilla glaze, cinnamon sugar, strawberry sugar and more, as well as weekly rotating flavors (Cinnamon Toast Crunch doughnut, anyone?). “It will become our model for future locations.” “This will be our first location that’s a place to sit and stay,” Stuerman said. Halo serves hot and iced Sweetwater Organic coffee at all locations, along with Brio nitro, lattes and bottled cold brew. Inside, there will also be a large full-service coffee bar.

The new location will have indoor and outdoor seating, including a large covered patio. Stuerman said the Tower Road location will be slightly different from its storefront and two mobile food trucks that operate in town. The popular breakfast pastry shop, which creates yeast and cake doughnuts using real potato in the recipe, is now building out a new location at 209 NW Tower Road, which is expected to open late summer or early fall 2021. “You combine all those things and people are going to be drawn to it.” “We have good customer service, a good product that hasn’t been in the area before,” said owner Drew Stuerman. Here’s a look at what’s coming to the area: Halo Potato DonutsĪfter opening its first brick-and-mortar location on South Main Street just about a year ago, Halo Potato Donuts is gearing up to open another permanent location across town. “Much like a food court, the more there are, the more activity and more success you’ll see.” “The dynamic of North Tower Road is starting to take shape,” said Mitch Glaeser, CEO of Emory Group Companies, a developer for the new projects. The location currently has a few fast-food options off Newberry Road, along with Napolatanos, Mint Indian Cuisine, Sushi-2-Go, Applebee’s, Waffle House, Five Star Pizza and Pizza Hut nearby.

The shopping plaza, just west of Interstate 75, also has close proximity to frequented roads, the Oaks Mall and North Florida Regional Medical Center. Tower Center, anchored by a Home Depot near the intersections of Tower and Newberry Roads, will soon include more options for customers in search of breakfast, lunch and dinner. After a new revival of restaurants near downtown Gainesville in the past several months, a group of new eateries are looking west for their upcoming locations.
