Franchisees Karthik Raghuram and Meenali Khare told What Now Denver The Yard Milkshake Bar is opening a new location at 1001 16th St. Mall, Denver, CO 80265. The new store is tentatively scheduled for spring 2023.
The Yard Milkshake Bar was created in 2017 by husband-and-wife team Logan and Chelsea Green. After opening and operating two ice cream shops alongside her mom, Chelsea decided it was time to turn things up a notch.
She conceived of a sweet spot “like no other dessert place she had ever been to and decided that crazy specialty milkshakes [were] just what they were looking for.”
Soon, she and her entrepreneur husband were making waves in their hometown of Gulf Shores, Alabama. In 2019, the couple was featured on an episode of Shark Tank wherein their candied company won over investor Mark Cuban.
Today, The Yard has over 21 locations country-wide – and that number is soon to increase by one Colorado shop.
“Our signature products — the ones featured on Instagram and Tik Tok — are over-the-top milkshakes and sundaes,” explained Raghuram.
“Each item is made to order and comes in a dressed mason jar that the guests can keep as a souvenir. [Each jar contains] either heaping scoops of ice cream, loads of whipped cream, drizzle, and a large premium item (such as a brownie, waffle, or doughnut). We use only premium quality ice creams and all of our toppings are either made in the store or sourced locally.”
