Hakatai Tile Transforms Yogurt Shop


Hakatai recently played a major role in the transformation of an old bank in the Mission Hills neighborhood of San Diego, California, into the Yogurt Cup, an ice cream and frozen yogurt shop. Moe Oram, owner of the Yogurt Cup, used the custom design tools at www.hakatai.com to make his own custom blend and custom gradient with Luster and Classic series tile from Hakatai. The Yogurt Cup now features a yellow to blue glass mosaic gradient on a 50 square-foot accent wall, as well as a colorful mosaic blend in the front of the store. Oram selected a retro color scheme to create a fun and funky, “Austin Powers-type” vibe for his new restaurant.

“It’s very simple to create your own custom blend or custom gradient with Hakatai,” said Oram. “It’s almost common sense to just go to the site and create a blend. It turned out very nice. I was looking for that mosaic look. I’m a builder by trade and had used Hakatai before. I designed the actual colors in there and it’s beautiful. The customers love it. It’s a fun place to be.”
