LAKEVIEW — In true crosstown style, Dat Donut, a popular South Side donut shop, is heading north to open a new location in Lakeview.
The Chatham-based company is bringing its delicious donuts to 947 W. Wellington Ave., replacing the former Shawarma Stop and more recently Latin Fuego.
Details on the move and opening date are still unclear, but Dat Donut manager Antoine Hardamon confirmed the news Thursday afternoon.
Located at 8251 S. Cottage Grove Avenue, Dat Donut has been serving the Chatham community since 1994. The shop, known for its fluffy yeast donuts and the Big Dat, has become a South Side staple and a must-visit for donut lovers across the city.
Dat Donut is part of a local family-owned restaurant group that also owns Uncle John’s BBQ. Hardamon said the restaurant group plans to open a second Uncle John’s BBQ restaurant at 949 W. Addison St., the former site of a Dunkin’ restaurant that closed in recent months.
