Los Angeles Dessert Innovation Takes Over The Middle East (And The Rest of The World) at 3rd Street Donuts Shop

If you’re ever catching yourself asking where you can find a piece of America in the Middle East, look no further. 3rd Street Donuts is where you can find a list of over a dozen specialty coffees and a one-of-a-kind, secret donut recipe that is directly imported from one of the finest American bakeries in Los Angeles, California.

The shop carries over 120 flavors of donuts, rotating from 40 to 50 flavors a day. They are made fresh daily and decorated beautifully in-house with a wide variety of colorful toppings for every occasion. The shop also offers a wide variety of artisanal hot and iced coffees that resemble those at your typical American coffee shop.

Mundhir al Alawi, founder and owner of 3rd Street Donuts, visited local, family-owned donut shops practically everyday while living in Los Angeles, California. He quickly fell in love with the dessert and the many distinct ways it could be prepared, depending on its unique recipe. Needless to say it didn’t take long for his newfound love of the fluffy treat to trigger the idea of a potential business endeavor.

But in order to remain as authentic as possible to his favorite donut shops in L.A, Alawi knew he’d have to create an American-style donut recipe for his small business. He proceeded to hire an executive pastry chef, and, in collaboration with an American bakery, designed the perfect donut recipe that would later become the secret signature staple of 3rd Street Donut Shop.

Thanks to the Free Trade Agreement between the United States and Oman, the shop’s top-quality ingredients for its secret recipe are imported from California whilst remaining completely duty-free. Since the innovative recipe requires special ingredients from both countries in order for the dessert to remain perfectly soft and fluffy, fellow competitors in the area using local ingredients have tended to fall short in competition.

There are currently three 3rd Street Donut Shop branches in Oman and more to come within the following year. By the end of 2021, the shop will be making its way into Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Dubai, and Bahrain. The business has also recently started accepting franchising applications which can be found on www.3sdonuts.com.

And if a delicious secret donut recipe imported overseas isn’t enough to bring you into the shop, its excellent customer service will do the trick. The shop’s owner made sure to put the customer’s experience at the forefront of his business by training staff to provide both innovative products and a wonderful dine-in experience. Each 3rd Street consumer is meant to be a friend and a lifetime companion of the business. “We are innovative in everything we do, but we always make sure to put the customer first,” owner and founder Mundhir al Alawi explains. “It’s always about making them feel like 3rd Street Donuts is a part of their home, and that whenever they walk into our shop, they understand that they are the most important.”

Office Logix Shop, founded in 2015 by Obada Mzaik and Kamal Haykal, grew from a garage-based startup into a major force in the refurbished office furniture market. The company runs a showroom in Lewis Center, Ohio, and operates a 60,000-square-foot warehouse, showing its rapid expansion. The demand for sustainable office furniture has propelled its growth in today’s environmentally aware market.

“We started this business with a dream to create comfortable, productive workspaces for everyone,” says Obada Mzaik, co-owner and COO of Office Logix Shop. “Our garage operation has transformed into a full-scale business, showing our dedication to excellence.”

Custom Designs Transform Office Comfort 

Office Logix Shop has created specialized accessories, focusing on headrests for various chair models. The company earned a patent for one of its headrest designs and is pursuing more patents. 

“We excel beyond refurbishment,” Mzaik explains. “Our product line includes headrest accessories and high-quality chair parts, which we engineered for superior ergonomic support and lasting performance.”

Office Logix Shop created the first headrest for the Mirra 2 and Embody, as well as the Leap V2 Headrests. Customers and industry experts have praised its ergonomic designs, valuing its products’ blend of comfort and durability.

Market Success: A $6.5 Million Growth Story 

Office Logix Shop generates annual revenue of $6.5 million, with a yearly growth rate of 35%. The company served over 12,000 customers in the past year, specializing in refurbishing premium brand chairs like Herman Miller and Steelcase. Its bestsellers include the Leap V2 Headrest, Embody Headrest, seat mesh for Aeron chairs (Size B and C), and refurbished Classic Aeron and Leap V2 chairs.

“Our competitive prices and quality standards make us stand out,” Kamal Haykal, co-owner and CEO of Office Logix Shop, states. “We provide complete solutions in the market, offering premium refurbished office furniture and original products.” Its attention to detail has built a loyal customer base across the United States, with repeat customers driving its growth.

Customer Power: Redefining Furniture Service 

Office Logix Shop solves customer challenges through premium refurbished products at lower prices than new items. It stocks a complete inventory of chair parts for refurbishment and creates tutorial videos to help small refurbishers and customers repair their chairs. “Office Logix Shop transforms workspaces, one chair at a time,” Mzaik states.

Its customer support extends beyond sales. It offers a 30-day return policy and a hands-on showroom experience where customers test and compare different products. The company’s repair guides help businesses and individuals maintain their office furniture investments, building a community of skilled customers.

Future Path: Creating Original Designs 

Office Logix Shop is expanding its presence in the high-end office furniture space by continuing to grow its line of signature ergonomic chairs. “We want to keep building on what we’ve started,” says Mzaik. “With our current models, the Nova and the Midan, we’re already offering premium comfort and design at a more accessible price point. Now we’re planning to expand even further, creating more ergonomic seating solutions that are not only high-end but also affordable for everyone.”

The company aims to evolve from a refurbished office furniture specialist to becoming a manufacturer. Office Logix Shop continues to adapt and create, strengthening its position in the office furniture market while prioritizing sustainability and customer satisfaction. Its next phase will bring new products that reflect its competence in ergonomics and sustainability.
