SAN FRANCISCO - Feb. 25, 2014 - PRLog -- The International Frozen Yogurt Association (IFYA)’s Swirl of Honor^TM program is proud to award three swirls to Zoëyogurt, the most swirls a frozen yogurt shop can be awarded. Three swirls were awarded to each of Zoëyogurt’s locations in the Seattle area:

The Swirl of Honor^TM Program was launched by the IFYA in 2013 to recognize excellence in frozen yogurt across the world. As the first and only quality seal program specifically for frozen yogurt stores, the IFYA developed stringent quality standards. Swirl of Honor^TM recipients have demonstrated their commitment to quality frozen yogurt, store cleanliness, superior customer service, and environmentally friendly business practices. Recipients receive one to three Swirls (1 = good, 2 = very good, 3 = excellent) based on how they meet IFYA Swirl of Honor^TM standards.

“We are very proud to welcome Zoëyogurt to our roster of Swirl of Honor recipients. Zoëyogurt  embodies IFYA’s vision of an exemplary frozen yogurt shop,” said Susan Linton, IFYA President. “I had the pleasure of visiting the first Zoëyogurt location. Based on that visit I could tell that the shop was owned by people who were passionate enough about frozen yogurt to want to offer the best yogurt, toppings, friendly service, and atmosphere. The shops are eco-friendly too, consistent with IFYA’s values.”

Owners Donna and Tom Hudson added, "We are honored and excited to be the first frozen yogurt stores in the Pacific NW to receive the highest honor awarded by the International Frozen Yogurt Association.  We wholeheartedly support the mission of the IFYA and will always strive to maintain the high standards that it embodies."
