Parlor Doughnuts Opens 100th Location in Huntington Beach

January 04, 2026

Parlor Doughnuts has just opened its 100th shop, marking a major milestone for the brand as it continues to grow from a beloved local concept into a national presence. The new Huntington Beach location reflects Parlor’s ongoing commitment to community, craftsmanship, and locally owned franchise partnerships.

What began as a regional doughnut shop has expanded into 100 communities across the country. Each location is rooted in local ownership while delivering the same signature experience, from the brand’s Famous Layered Doughnuts to its handcrafted coffee. The milestone is celebrated under the theme “The Tour Rolls On,” highlighting the momentum behind Parlor’s continued expansion.

In Orange County, the Huntington Beach opening joins an existing Parlor Doughnuts location in Laguna Niguel, further strengthening the brand’s footprint in Southern California.

Founded in Evansville, Indiana, in 2019 by Darrick Hayden and restaurateur Joshua Tudela, Parlor Doughnuts was created as a place to gather around creative flavors and warm hospitality. The name reflects traditional neighborhood parlors, while also honoring the Doughnut Lassies who served doughnuts and coffee to soldiers during World War I. That sense of comfort and connection continues to guide the brand today.

THE DAILY HEALING Presents Healing House Lido

January 04, 2026

Healing House Lido brings together art, wellness, and community for an immersive afternoon dedicated to restoration and connection. Hosted at the historic Lido Theater, this one-day experience invites guests to slow down, reset, and engage in meaningful healing practices in support of City of Hope cancer treatment centers.

Renowned frequency artist Britt Michaelian, recently named one of MSN’s Top 10 Most Creative Artists of 2025, will collaborate with digital artist Josh Pierce in a first-of-its-kind event that merges digital frequency art with wellness. Healing House Lido transforms the iconic Newport Beach venue into a sanctuary designed to inspire, uplift, and honor those touched by cancer.

Taking place Sunday, January 25, 2026, at 3 p.m., the afternoon gathering features a thoughtfully curated lineup of wellness leaders and creative innovators. Guests will experience Britt Michaelian’s Daily Healing Method, centered on seven core practices: grounding, inspiration, movement, nourishment, gratitude, forgiveness, and grace.

Programming highlights include a sound bath led by Marcelo Shriman paired with immersive digital art, guided meditations, a breathwork session with Nikki Mostofi, and inspiring conversations with Kelly Noonan Gores of the HEAL documentary and podcast, along with Lisa Bhathal Merage, governor of the WNBA’s Portland Fire and the Portland Thorns women’s soccer team. The experience also includes a frequency art exhibition showcasing collaborative works by Michaelian and Pierce.

Guests are encouraged to spread the word, secure tickets early, and be part of a shared healing experience rooted in creativity, compassion, and community.

Tickets available through January 11, 2026, here. 

Lido Theater is at 3459 Via Lido, Newport Beach
