Red Mango free all-day yogurt event coming up

THE WOODLANDS, Texas -- Red Mango®, the 2011 #1 Zagat Rated Frozen Yogurt and Smoothie Chain in America, today announced the opening of its 200th store in the country located in The Woodlands at the Woodlands Crossing Shopping Center, 10868 Kuykendahl Road and Woodlands Parkway. It is open Monday through Thursday 10 a.m. – 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday 10 a.m. – 10 p.m., and Sunday 12 p.m. – 8p.m.

The new Red Mango in The Woodlands will host an all-day grand opening event on Saturday, October 20th when guests will be treated to a free small yogurt with their choice of toppings. In celebration of the 200th store, the first 200 guests will receive an exclusive prize and the 200th guest will receive a $200.00 Red Mango gift card. There will also be other giveaways including Red Mango t-shirts, a visit from Miss Mango, and a special appearance from Dan Kim, Red Mango Founder and Chief Concept Officer, from 12 p.m. – 3 p.m.

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.
