I'm not sure if this has been posted, but the permits for this project clearly call this a "Doughnut Shop" so that should be enough to confirm the rumors, if there was even any doubt left...
That feels like a lock. I’ll play Devil’s Advocate and say that it could be a Tim Horton’s (none in the south) or a trendy NYC/LA donut place.I'm not sure if this has been posted, but the permits for this project clearly call this a "Doughnut Shop" so that should be enough to confirm the rumors, if there was even any doubt left...
It could be Donut King. Universal already has a relationship with them.That feels like a lock. I’ll play Devil’s Advocate and say that it could be a Tim Horton’s (none in the south) or a trendy NYC/LA donut place.
But it’s probably Voodoo.

Weirdly a Tim Hortons has just opened up about 2mins from my flat. I'm not a fan of coffee but I've been there 6 times in a week already. I thought they were everywhere in the US.
I would love it to be Donut King. Their fresh donut's are AMAZING. The one's they give UOR aren't nearly as fresh, but still good (Lard Lad's donuts are from Donut King for example)It could be Donut King. Universal already has a relationship with them.
And Sugar Shack is moving into Florida, so it could be one.
Another option to consider is a Universal creation supplied by Donut King.I would love it to be Donut King. Their fresh donut's are AMAZING. The one's they give UOR aren't nearly as fresh, but still good (Lard Lad's donuts are from Donut King for example)
TH is from Canada and was recently acquired by Miami based Burger King. In any case I wouldn't expect this to be one.Weirdly a Tim Hortons has just opened up about 2mins from my flat. I'm not a fan of coffee but I've been there 6 times in a week already. I thought they were everywhere in the US.

As far as I'm concerned, any of these are a winning strategy over ElementHonest question, is this speculation or more "I've heard it's more local"? A lot are sold on Voodoo and I think "high end breakfast establishment that can also do desert" is a winning strategy in general.
BK is still in Miami. RBI which owns both TH and BK is in Canada and was formed specifically as the parent of the BK/TH brands. If you go up the chain 3G capital put up the money to create RBI so I guess they have a large say in the running of the brands but it seems BK is calling the shots and that is why TH franchisees have filed a class action suit against RBI.I thought Burger King relocated operations to Canada…
Speculation based on some rumors. The very first I heard of a Donut Shop coming to CityWalk said Donut King. But it was, what I call Communty Chatter. Not from an insider. Then all the Voodoo Donut chatter started. I know UOR is leaning away from 3rd party restaurants so that is where that idea came from. I'm hearing that the former Tchoup Chop will be a Universal creation.Honest question, is this speculation or more "I've heard it's more local"?

I'm not saying it's not Voodoo, but considering Denver is the closest one, I am sceptical.
That's actually not entirely true.
While it is still farther away from Florida, the closest on the eastern front of the United States is actually in Austin, not Denver.
I get what you are saying however, but that Voodoo Donuts makes sense when you take into account the success of the Citywalk location in Hollywood, and that it possibly has PR appeal when you consider possible foreign interest.
Just putting my two cents into that..

Is Voodoo in Hollywood operated by Universal being the franchisee or is it being operated by Voodoo with them paying Universal the lease?
Universal leasing area to Voodoo means no profits just collecting rent money. Franchisee means some profit but still pay out to Voodoo. Original concept means Universal keeps 100% of profit except for supplies which they could outsource to a local bakery etc.
So that's where the Super Nintendo Land expansion money went? Now the reason for the delay is clear.CityWalk is getting a new logo:
