Red Mango Frozen Yogurt & Smoothie Craze Hits Wheaton

April 11, 2012 - PRLog -- The Red Mango frozen yogurt craze has officially made its way to Wheaton, Illinois with the opening of its new location in the Town Square Shopping Center at 233 Town Square, located between Chico’s and Francesca’s Collection. This location is one of over 160 new Red Mango® stores that have opened across the country, and demand for this popular, all-natural, delicious brand continues to grow.

In September of 2011, Red Mango was named the #1 Zagat Rated chain in America for smoothies and frozen yogurt.  Dan and Michelle Houska, owners of the Wheaton store, are big believers in the brand and were determined to bring Red Mango to the people of Wheaton.

The Houskas are excited to share the “love for the swirl” with the Wheaton community. They will host a grand opening celebration on Friday, April 20 from 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.

During the grand opening event, guests and customers will be treated to a free small yogurt with toppings; the first 100 guests to arrive will receive a free Red Mango tshirt; and attendees who register for the Club Mango loyalty program, or are already members, will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win an iPad. However, the best treat of all, Dan Kim, the founder and chief concept officer of Red Mango, Inc., will be on-site to help celebrate this latest opening.

In 2011, Red Mango experienced one of the largest growths of all yogurt and smoothie chains. Red Mango credits the achievements to consumers who want healthier food options as well as business owners who want to be associated with a sophisticated frozen yogurt brand.

“We are excited to open this location and to share this outstanding product with the residents of Wheaton,” said Dan Houska. “Our store will offer 10 delicious flavors, which include staples like our addictive Original, as well as a rotating selection that provides a unique variety for every visitor at around 100 calories. We also serve a refreshing line of fresh fruit smoothies and all-natural, fruit and yogurt parfaits for a healthier lunch alternative.”    

Well worth the wait, Red Mango serves delicious all-natural flavors of frozen yogurt including Pomegranate, White Peach, Caribbean Coconut, Ghirardelli Chocolate, as well as the new Classic line of flavors like Cake Batter and Vanilla Bean. It is nutritious and packed with probiotics for a healthy alternative frozen treat.  Each serving is low in calories and customers can garnish their yogurt with healthy, natural toppings including fresh fruit, nuts and granola; and fun toppings like gummy bears, Mochi, brownie bites and Boba Balls.

“We are extremely excited to have so many local fans of our frozen yogurt in the short time the store has been open,” continues Dan.  “The entire team at Red Mango is excited about the April 20th grand opening event.  We thank the local community for their great reception and invite them to come by and have a tasty and refreshing treat on us.  We know they will fall in love with the flavorful pleasure that is Red Mango.”
