People went nuts for the Nuts Factory opening on 3rd Avenue

We happened to be walking along Third Avenue on Sunday and caught the lines for the grand opening of the Nuts Factory on the NW corner of Ninth Street.
People were going nuts (SORRY WE KEEP DOING THAT) for the freebies, like Dubai chocolate strawberry cups. 

The Nuts Factory folks were nice enough to let us cut the line for a quick look inside...
As previously noted, this is the 11th NYC outpost for the family-owned business, which also has locations in New Jersey and Massachusetts. The shop sells nuts, dried fruits and premium candy like Dubai Chocolate everything. 

Vivi Bubble Tea closed here early last fall, after its 10-year lease expired.

    Those cocoa cashews are pretty awesome, I gotta say. I will be stopping by again.

    This picture boggles me. Nothing against the company, but I'm trying to figure out who the demographic is in the EV (beyond kids and their families) that would actually *stand in a long line* for this degree of basicness. It's essentially a mall store, which, again, is fine...but to wait??? Can influencers drive this kind of traffic?
