Old Brooklyn’s cult-favorite Jack Frost Donuts has officially gone suburban. The 1937 family bakery, known for its hefty sour-cream rings and over-the-top seasonal specials, just opened a second shop at 36840 Detroit Road in the Shoppes of Olde Avon Village in Avon. The new storefront sits west of Cleveland and will be stocked daily with donuts shipped in from the original Pearl Road kitchen, bringing the longtime city staple closer to West Side commuters.
The Avon shop opened its doors on Saturday, March 21, 2026, next to Strip Steakhouse, according to WKYC. The space previously housed Avon Eye Design, and the City of Avon listed Jack Frost at that address in its winter business update.
About Jack Frost
Jack Frost has been part of Cleveland’s food DNA since 1937. The company’s Jack Frost Donuts site lists the flagship at 4960 Pearl Road in Old Brooklyn, where the family-run shop turns out classics like sour-cream glazed, maple-iced donuts and filled long johns. Cleveland Scene reports that the Avon shop will receive fresh batches from the original location every morning.
Why This Move Matters
Jack Frost’s leap to Avon fits a broader pattern in Northeast Ohio dining, as operators look beyond the Cleveland core for new customers, better parking and less complicated buildouts. Local business coverage has been following a wave of restaurant openings and relocations slated for 2026, and this new outpost is another example of a city favorite testing the suburban waters.
Hours And What To Expect
The Jack Frost Donuts website lists typical hours as 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., with the caveat that locations can sell out early on busy days. The site also shares the flagship shop’s phone number for anyone planning a larger order.
The Avon counter is expected to carry the full rotating lineup, roughly two dozen varieties on a given day, so regulars can still chase their favorite frostings and fillings. The space is expected to include indoor seating and likely outdoor tables during busier stretches, according to Cleveland Scene.
For Avon residents, the new shop adds another early-morning option. For longtime Jack Frost fans west of the city, it cuts the drive for a weekday donut run. This story will be updated as the shop releases more grand-opening details or special promotions.
