I live in St Petersburg, Florida which has several options for the frozen yogurt lover. My family has tried each one - more than once. By far, our favorite is Menchie's. The flavor and topping options are similar to the other local franchises, but Menchie's offers more.
My favorite are the cool, reusable spoons. I noticed about 2 weeks ago that our supply of Menchie's spoons has gone way down, so this was a perfect time to go back. Other reasons to love Menchie's are the free stickers, balloons, and other little things; the cute clothes they sell; and the giant chalkboard kids can draw on. They also have a reward program and I think they are slightly cheaper than the other froyo places near us.
As you can see, I already loved Menchie's. Having learned the history of the store makes me love it even more. Here is the story from the Menchies website:
Co-Founder Danna Caldwell often refers to Menchie’s as “a love story.” She and her husband, co-founder Adam Caldwell, went on their first date to a frozen yogurt place where you could add your own toppings. Excited by the different flavors, the rainbow sprinkles and the business possibilities, Danna and Adam hatched an idea that night in Orange County, Calif., to open a well-branded, family-friendly, self-serve frozen yogurt store in the Los Angeles area. As their idea to start a frozen dessert store blossomed, so did their relationship.
In 2007 the couple opened their first frozen yogurt shop, naming it Menchie’s after Adam’s pet name for his bride-to-be. After opening their first store, Menchie’s CEO Amit Kleinberger partnered with them and laid out a vision to create a global brand.If you want to experience Menchie's for yourself, click here to find a location near you.
