Pink Fryday, a candy-pink mashup of mochi doughnuts and Korean fried chicken built for photos and fast service, is officially on its way to One Daytona. The concept promises crunchy tenders, rotating mochi doughnuts, bubble tea, and shaved ice, all served in a space engineered to light up Instagram and TikTok feeds.
According to ONE DAYTONA, Pink FRYDAY is listed as a coming tenant at the Shoppes at ONE DAYTONA, slotted for Suite #205. The complex, which sits directly across from Daytona International Speedway, has been steadily adding new dining and lifestyle options as part of its broader 2026 expansion plans.
In an interview with What Now Orlando, owner Debo Yang said the storefront will be “all in pink,” decked out with 3D décor meant to double as a backdrop for photos and reels. Yang told the outlet that construction and décor should wrap in about a month, with roughly another month devoted to recipe testing before opening to the public. The bold color palette is meant to create a high-energy hangout, particularly for younger visitors.
What To Expect
The menu is set to blend mochi doughnuts and Korean fried chicken tenders with coffee, bubble tea, and shaved ice, according to ONE DAYTONA. Listings and reporting note that the doughnuts will cycle through three or four flavors at a time, while the chicken is being dialed in for a crisp exterior and juicy interior that works for both dine-in and takeout.
When It Might Open
Timelines are still a bit loose. Yang told What Now Orlando the shop could open “in the next few months,” following buildout and recipe testing. At the same time, local coverage has pointed to a late-summer or Q3 debut. The Ormond Beach Observer has listed Pink FRYDAY among One Daytona’s late-summer openings, suggesting a likely mid-to-late summer arrival.
Why It Matters
ONE DAYTONA has been loading up on food and lifestyle concepts to serve both year-round visitors and racing crowds, and Pink Fryday fits neatly into the center’s push for photogenic, youth-oriented dining. Multiple new openings at the complex have been flagged in recent months, Coastal Ventures reports, as operators lean into experiential, social-media-friendly spots to keep foot traffic flowing.
