FORT WAYNE, IN. (THECOUNT) — Yummi Bunni, which opened in Fort Wayne back in 2016, abruptly closed down, and by the looks of it, permanently.
The ice cream store, which served up doughnut ice cream sandwiches loaded with other treats, was closed down on Tuesday without notice and the windows covered up with brown paper.

The shop opened in November 2016 and enjoyed instant success serving up premium ice cream inside of a split glazed doughnut, with toppings including cereal and jams. But that success was short lived as the business took a hit in sales after the social media mob accused the husband of owner Makenna Click of sexually assaulting women while working at a local Fort Wayne tattoo shop.
No charges were ever brought forth against the husband.
The front door of the sweet eatery at 123 W. Main St. is covered up, and the business is not open for business. The phone number associated with the location has been disconnected, and all of Yummi Bunni’s social media accounts have been deleted, reports WANE.
In June 2018, the Indianapolis Star reported Yummi Bunni planned to open a second location in the Fountain Square neighborhood of Indianapolis. It does not appear that ever happened.
