Bring back the Yum Yum Shop

Yum Yum Jack · 08-05-2017, 03:02 PM

I grew up on apple turnovers and pizza for breakfast at the Yum Yum shop in the summer. I was devastated to find out it is no longer open.

The jelly donuts were fantastic! As a child my dad would take me into
Wolfeboro from Alton Bay and the bookstore, Black's gift shop and Yum Yum
shop were absolutes. We also dined at Edgewood restaurant in Alton, and
(dating myself here) Dot's Lunch at the Rt. 11 rotary. My mom still has an
ashtray (What's an ashtray?!) from there. I just realized that I'm always
replying to the food reviews.

No idea who's buying it or what he plans to do with it.

I walked by on Monday and they were doing a soil boring tests. I can only assume that there is a contract signed for the sale and they are doing a phase 2 environmental test.

Sure. Wasn't it formerly a gas station?

Yes, it was a GULF.

The Esso (would now be Exxon) was across the street on the hill from Hunters and is currently a small park.

If you look really carefully you can see the Gulf sign.

Where Cate Park is today.

I noticed someone has placed several posters on the outside of the Yum Yum building begging them to come back such as "Be a good fella and bring back the crullers"

tis · 08-21-2017, 11:55 AM

McDude, rumor has it that the Yum Yum has indeed been bought and could very well be coming back!! Time will tell----

snowflake · 08-21-2017, 01:31 PM

I just arrived n Wolfeboro and headed for q quick lunch at the Wolfeborough Diner and much to my surprise it had closed! What happened? No one I asked seems to know. I also enjoyed donuts and raspberry turnovers when we stayed at Edward's on Wentworth.

Barbara · 08-21-2017, 05:54 PM

Tis, I heard that rumor also. The for sale sign is gone.

Heading4thelake · 08-21-2017, 09:08 PM

I have heard from many locals it is on deposit and that
it is being bought by the Marriott family and will once
again be the "YUM YUM SHOP " .. Heard it from many
different people !! just sayin !!!

JADAQ · 05-14-2018, 11:53 AM

I see a new front patio going in and work being done inside..

I’m guessing they’ll be opening this year?

tis · 05-14-2018, 12:14 PM

They said they are working hard to be open the beginning of June.

tis · 05-17-2018, 05:21 PM

I heard the inside is done and they are just waiting for the landscaping to be done.

joey2665 · 05-17-2018, 07:36 PM

Great news. Maybe open Memorial weekend?

So you heard that they will not open until flowers are planted outside the building? What an odd reason to delay an opening on one of the busiest weekends.

tis · 05-25-2018, 10:58 AM

Well, if you've seen it, it's a little more than flowers. Right now it would be very dangerous for anyone to walk to the door. But it's coming along.

radar4401 · 05-25-2018, 12:25 PM

I talked to the new owner on Wed. They hope to open in a couple of weeks. They were expecting display cases on Thursday and have some minor work to complete. They will try to have a grand opening then.

KPW · 05-31-2018, 11:59 AM

According to a post on facebook, they are scheduled to open June 11th

tis · 05-31-2018, 03:02 PM

The shrubs are in and the lot was tarred today. It is coming.
