The staff person gave me a few cups to taste the yogurts which I did. The flavors were surprisingly good. The fruit toppings were good with some selection and the candy toppings were plenty. You just have to remember that the cost is associated with weight. So don't bog down your bowl and end up paying a fortune for yogurt. The cost is 39 cents per ounce.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170162090710173515.post-40557245101305574232009-07-28T01:49:15.848-07:002009-07-28T01:49:15.848-07:00I've become a closet Yogofina addict. My wife...I've become a closet Yogofina addict. My wife loves it and I claim I dont want to go... But secretly I cant wait to go! So I can use it to manipulate her. (i.e. If you do "this" I'll take you to Yogofina!) <br />It works like a charm every time. Hahahaha! ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170162090710173515.post-86485361197688232622009-07-21T16:35:10.530-07:002009-07-21T16:35:10.530-07:00I know back in late 2006, early 2007, frozen yogur...I know back in late 2006, early 2007, frozen yogurt made a comeback in parts like LA and San Diego...mainly due to the new "tart" yogurt phenomenon. Tart yogurt was a different spin on the traditional sweet, soft-serve type frozen yogurt of the 80's. This new tart yogurt trend was propelled by explosion of PinkBerry down south. Of course, the trend is always a little late outside trend center and that's why we're seeing the trend pick up here. <br /><br />And now this has led to the trend of "self-serve" locations like Yogafina...which is a HUGE cash cow down south. Low start up costs(no need for stoves/ovens/sprinklers and you can lease the yogurt machines), low inventory costs, low payroll costs, and high margin. <br /><br />I'm kind of indifferent about the whole yogurt thing...but that's sorta my observation of what's been going on. Love your blog by the way...i check it all the time ;)Poppawinsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447026465331463558noreply@blogger.com
