Sept. 10, 2014 - PRLog -- FRESNO, Calif.– Menchie’s, the friendliest place on earth with a mission to make every guest smile, has opened its newest store at Winepress Shopping Center, located at 3090 W.

To celebrate the opening, Menchie’s will spread smiles with a seven-day grand opening celebration from Saturday, September 13 to Friday, September 19 packed with free servings of its best-in-class frozen yogurt all day long.

“Being a Fresno native, it was important for my first entrepreneurial venture to be something that would be beneficial to the community I grew up in,” said franchisee Mitch Nitta. “One thing that I was most attracted to was Menchie’s core values of family, education, community and quality. I can’t wait to bring smiles to Fresno residents and give back to the community that has already given me so much.”

The new self-serve store offers an unparalleled experience that is welcoming, fun and interactive, with arts and crafts for kids, enjoyable music and indoor/outdoor seating areas where friends and family gather.  Guests can choose from a variety of rotating yogurt flavors and delicious toppings for unlimited combinations, ensuring happiness in every cup.

Menchie’s is also committed to giving back to each community it serves. Stores partner with local schools in fundraising activities and education incentive programs. Each Menchie’s store donates thousands of dollars in cash and products annually to local schools to support student programs.

The company is a world leader in ensuring best-in-class products, and considers itself the ambassador of frozen yogurt quality worldwide. Menchie’s ensures that only the highest quality milk and flavors are used to make its frozen yogurt. The proprietary collection is made from the milk of “smiley” California cows, which have not been treated with artificial growth hormones (rBST). Menchie’s frozen yogurt contains live and active cultures and has received the Live and Active Culture (LAC) seal indicating its endorsement by the National Yogurt Association.
