Free frozen yogurt Nov. 3

Free Pinkberry for All Highlights Public Pre-Opening Event Thursday, Nov. 3


ORLANDO (Oct. 25, 2011) -- Pinkberry, the number one tart frozen yogurt brand, will bring fashion and good taste together when it opens its third Orlando location at The Mall at Millenia. The store will be located at 4200 Conroy Road at the main mall entrance on the lower level next to Brio Tuscan Grille. The new store will open Friday, Nov. 4, just over a year after opening the first Pinkberry in Orlando -- and the state -- at The Marketplace at Dr. Phillips. A second Pinkberry store opened last spring at Orlando Premium Outlets® - International Dr.

"Fashion lovers have great taste, so Pinkberry and The Mall at Millenia are a natural fit," said Bill Harmening II, Pinkberry area developer for Orlando. "Whether greeting shoppers with the cool taste of tart frozen yogurt or refreshing them as they leave the mall, Pinkberry is proud to offer our international sensation to visitors and locals alike."

Similar to the first two Orlando store openings, Pinkberry will host a pre-opening party serving up free Pinkberry with all of the toppings at the new store location on Thursday, Nov. 3 from 5-9 pm. The event is open to the general public. The store is also now hiring for 25 hourly positions. Applicants may send resumes to orlandojobs@pinkberry.com.

Frozen yogurt for "caviar tastes and Cavalli waistlines," Pinkberry is made with real nonfat yogurt and nonfat milk that is rBST hormone free. Pinkberry is heralded as the company that launched the current tart frozen yogurt craze when it opened its first store in West Hollywood, Calif. in 2005. The premium taste of Pinkberry soon became a celebrity and trendsetter favorite, with Swirly Goodness spreading to now more than 100 locations worldwide.

The Mall at Millenia store will offer Pinkberry's six distinctive flavors and thirty premium toppings, including daily fresh cut seasonal fruits, organic fruity bears and shaved Belgian milk chocolate, as well as Pinkberry Smoothies, Fresh Fruit Bowls and Parfaits and Take Home packs. The fresh, tart taste of Pinkberry served by friendly Swirly Artists will be complemented by the store's clean, contemporary furnishings in hues of orange, blue and green, offering an inviting social environment for the Pinkberry Promise of "20 minutes of fun."

"We are pleased to add this exciting concept to our retail mix," said Brenda Lounsberry, Marketing Director, The Mall at Millenia. "This concept is a perfect match for The Mall at Millenia trend-conscious shopper."

The Mall at Millenia Pinkberry store will be open Monday - Saturday 10 am - 9 pm and Sunday 11 am - 7 pm. The store's phone number is 407-351-9852. Pinkberry will now have three stores in Orlando, including its original location at The Marketplace at Dr. Phillips, 7600 Dr. Phillips Blvd. at the corner of Dr. Phillips Blvd. and Sandlake Rd. The original store opened Aug. 20, 2010. A second location at Orlando Premium Outlets -- International Dr. at 4951 International Drive opened on April 1, 2011.
