FUSE NOW HAS FOUR LOCATIONS

Fuse recently opened its fourth store at Canal Crossing in Brunswick, in front of Sam’s Club. Fuse is an original frozen dessert concept created in 2012 by St. Simons Island native Justin Henshaw and his wife Brie. Together they’ve built a local chain well on its way to becoming a national brand. Known for offering more than the typical frozen yogurt shop, Fuse offers frozen yogurt, gelato, sorbet, and smoothies or slush, depending on the location. Now with a fourth store, they’ve added even more with a brand new full serve frozen custard bar featuring frozen custard made fresh daily and churned right in front of you. They’ve also added frozen custard cakes, pops and cookie sandwiches, all made fresh and frozen daily, to their menu. Fuse has launched new catering and birthday party packages as well.
