Food lovers in the Waterloo Region have reason to celebrate! This Fall, Shawerma Plus is opening a new location in Kitchener, teaming up with Fluffy Glaze Donuts, which is expanding from Guelph to the Waterloo area. 🍩🌯 This collaboration within new storefronts across from the Williamsburg Town Centre, promises to create a unique dining experience that locals won’t want to miss. Both new shops will be located at 1111 Westmount Road East. This partnership adds a refreshing twist to the local food scene, combining Middle Eastern cuisine with gourmet donuts. 🎉
A Taste of Tradition
Shawerma Plus has built a strong reputation since its inception in 2012 when co-founders Asem Ghabra and Baraat Khudeir opened their first quick-service restaurant. Jawad Ghabra joined the team in 2013 and played a vital role in launching their second location in Waterloo in 2016. With a 1,000 sq. ft. kitchen, this location helped Shawerma Plus scale to regional leader status, known for catering, large orders, and late-night delivery services. Their commitment to serving delicious, freshly made dishes—ranging from flavorful shawarma to mouthwatering falafel—ensures each meal is a celebration of authentic flavors.
Sweet Innovations with Fluffy Glaze
On the other side of the collaboration, Fluffy Glaze Donuts is also making its mark. Co-owner Sharon Bhatia, a passionate baker, is bringing her love of donuts to Kitchener after successfully launching the shop in Guelph. With a focus on fresh, made-from-scratch donuts, customers can enjoy a viewing experience that showcases the entire process, from frying to glazing. Sharon’s innovative approach and dedication to quality promise to make Fluffy Glaze a must-visit destination for donut enthusiasts.
A Unique Culinary Landscape
The expansion of Fluffy Glaze Donuts adds an exciting dynamic to the region, especially with the presence of Lady Glaze Donuts in Belmont Village. The emergence of these specialty donut shops provides a refreshing alternative to the many chain options like Tim Hortons and McDonald’s. It will be interesting to see how Fluffy Glaze and Lady Glaze coexist in the market. Will the demand for gourmet donuts be high enough to support both businesses? Their different locations may allow each to thrive while catering to their unique customer bases.
Community Excitement
As the opening date approaches, excitement is building in Kitchener. The community is eager to welcome this new destination, which is sure to become a favorite for families and foodies alike. With options for both hearty meals and sweet treats, this collaboration has something for everyone.
As both Shawerma Plus and Fluffy Glaze Donuts prepare to open their doors, locals can look forward to the exciting fusion of flavors and experiences these new stores will bring. The combination of freshly made shawarma and gourmet donuts is set to make this a must-visit spot in Kitchener, adding a unique twist to the region’s culinary scene.
