03 01 10 | Denver Chills Out with Two New Yogurt Chains
Denver's getting ready for a big freeze with the upcoming arrival of national frozen yogurt chains Pinkberry and Red Mango.
Pinkberry will open in early June at 1000 S. Colorado Blvd. in a new strip center where Tokyo Joe's moved in as the first tenant. There are plans to open more than 15 additional stores over the next five to six years.
Red Mango is supposed to open its first Denver store this spring, with plans to add more than 20 locations in the region in the next three to five years.
Pinkberry franchisee Scott Adams has the rights to develop the Colorado market. The Denver Red Mango is a single-store purchased by franchisees Dayle Revious (formerly Cedars), a reporter at KMGH-Channel 7, and business partners Michele Melnick and Carrie Goff.
Calls to Red Mango weren't returned Monday, so I can't tell you where the first store will open. The company opened its first store in Los Angeles in 2007 and has nearly 60 locations in 14 states.
Pinkberry, which was founded in 2005, has roughly 80 stores primarily in Los Angeles and New York. The brand has created a cult following by devotees — including celebrities Ellen DeGeneres and Taylor Swift — who will wait in long lines for the tangy treat.
Having never had the pleasure of Pinkberry, I asked about it on my Facebook page, and people went nuts.
