Frozen Yogurt and Smoothie Craze Hits Brownsville, Texas with the New Opening of Red Mango

Sept. 13, 2011 - PRLog -- BROWNSVILLE, Texas (September 13, 2011)—Red Mango was just named the #1 Zagat Rated Frozen Yogurt and Smoothie Chain in America, and it’s now available in Brownsville, Texas!

The frozen yogurt craze officially made its way to Brownsville, TX this past month with the opening of the Red Mango store on Pablo Kisel.  The new location is among more than 130 Red Mango stores now open for business across the country.

This month, the 2011 Zagat National Chain Restaurants Survey ranked the fast growing yogurt and smoothies franchise as the nation’s number one smoothie and frozen yogurt chain and the number one quick refreshment chain with healthy options. Brownsville residents will taste the excitement next.

Owner and operator, Analia Lemus, is thrilled to share the “love for the swirl” and will host a grand opening celebration on Saturday, September 24.

“We are thrilled to have this opportunity to share this outstanding product with the Brownsville community,” said Lemus.  “We used to have to travel miles to get our yogurt fix and nothing came close to the taste of Red Mango. I knew it would only be a matter of time before we opened up our very own store right here in Brownsville.”  

A big fan of Red Mango prior to owning her own store, Lemus isn’t alone. In its first week of being open, the store’s Facebook fans went from 8 to close to 1,000. With a diverse background in retail management, Lemus attended design school in Italy and has worked for several major retailers including Neiman Marcus and Aldo Shoes. When the opportunity to own her own business was in reach, Lemus chose Red Mango because of the unique product line and stylish, reputable image.

Well worth the wait, Red Mango of Brownsville not only serves delicious all-natural flavors of frozen yogurt including Key Lime Pie, Raspberry Cheesecake, Madagascar Vanilla and Ghirardelli Chocolate, it is nutritious and is packed with probiotics for a healthy alternative frozen treat.  Each serving is around 100 calories and customers can garnish their yogurt with healthy, natural toppings including fresh fruit, nuts and granola; and fun toppings like gummy bears, Fruity Pebbles® and Cap’n Crunch®.

Lemus will share the responsibility of operating her store with family members.  “Our first month of business has been busy and very rewarding. We have met so many new friends and we are super excited to have so many local fans of our frozen yogurt. We want to continue the hype and treat our customers well with this sweet, healthy treat anytime of the year,” said Lemus.

The entire team at Red Mango is excited about the grand opening event set to take place September 24. “We just want the local community to come out, have a tasty and refreshing treat on us and fall in love with the flavorful pleasure that is Red Mango.”
