National chain of milkshake bars made popular by “Shark Tank” opening first Ohio location in the Short North

The Yard Milkshake Bar is coming to Columbus.

The Alabama-based chain of decadent milkshakes has been steadily gaining popularity since first opening in Gulf Shores, Ala. in 2017, and a 2019 appearance on the hit TV show “Shark Tank” bolstered the business’ national visibility.

It will be located at 1055 N. High St., in the heart of the Short North. This will be The Yard’s first location in Ohio. It boasts 18 other storefronts across the country, primarily in the southeastern United States.

While The Yard hasn’t announced an exact date just yet, its new Columbus location is expected to open in early 2022.

“My wife and business partner, Kelsey, and I are proud to announce after a long 2-year journey, we are opening our first The Yard Milkshake Bar location in Columbus, Ohio,” a statement from co-owner Justin Green said in a statement posted to The Yard’s Facebook page. “With both of us being raised in Ohio, we have so much love for the Buckeye state and are excited to bring The Yard to Columbus and provide these amazing milkshakes and products to local Ohioans.”

The Yard’s Columbus location will even feature The Buckeye, a decadent ice cream creation topped with buckeye candies and more.
