DALLAS, Sept. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/
-- Only five years after opening its first
location, Red Mango, America's
#1 Zagat-rated frozen yogurt and smoothies chain, has announced its
200th store will open in The Woodlands, Texas this
month.
Located at 10868 Kuykendahl Road in The Woodlands Crossing
Shopping Center, the store welcomes customers in a few days, and
will champion many honors for the fast-growing chain. In addition
to being the 200th location, the newest Red Mango will feature eight yogurt
machines serving 16 different flavors, the most of any Red Mango location in North America.
The store also graduates franchise owner Jay Randle to the title of multi-unit
owner/operator. As one of the first people to introduce the brand
to the greater Houston area, Randle is part of a
growing Houston presence
and larger franchising story that has expanded Red Mango from coast to coast.
"When it's a great product like Red
Mango, everything is right," says Randle, who opened his
first Red Mango at the
Market Street Shopping Center at 9595 Six Pines in The Woodlands in 2009.
Randle has a three-store development agreement and is already
looking at sites for his third location. He credits the brand's
core product of all-natural, kosher, gluten-free frozen yogurt that
is rich in probiotics for much of that success.
"We think Red
Mango tastes the best and is the best for you, and we
hear that from guests all the time," added Randle, who runs the
business with wife, Denise, and his sister, Debra Guindi. "Customers love swirling
their favorite flavor and then adding toppings to create a
completely unique concoction all their own."
With stores open in 30 states across the country, locations in
development in four more states, and successful entry
into Mexico, Red Mango has expanded on a national
and international level at record speed.
