sweetFrog Celebrates Hometown Recognition as Best Frozen Yogurt

May 22, 2014 - PRLog -- sweetFrog Premium Frozen Yogurt is grateful to receive the title of “Best Frozen Yogurt” and “Best Frozen Yogurt/Ice Cream” from Richmond Living and Style Weekly, respectively. Richmond Living’s survey encompassed the state of Virginia, while the survey from Style Weekly covered the city of Richmond.

“Richmond is our home, and we are tremendously honored to be a part of the community here,” said Duane Gillespie, Director of National Operations for sweetFrog. “We can’t say enough about the loyal fans who provided the foundation for the sweetFrog brand to grow.”

Around the city, sweetFrog has sponsored the Richmond Flying Squirrels’ baseball team, sports teams from local colleges Virginia Commonwealth University and University of Richmond, and a car in the Richmond Arena Racing League.
