I have to admit that when i first tried Pinkberry, I was disgusted by it and couldnt even finish the small serving I ordered. I was so used to thinking that yogurt should taste like Penguins, not something that tasted so pure and fruit flavored. I pretty much have been hating on Pinkberry for nearly two years, but this past weekend I wanted to eat some fruit(which is very rare) because it was like a 100 degrees in Los Angeles, and I ended up at Pinkberry and had a medium yogurt with strawberries, pineapple and granola. For the first time, I thought the whole concept of Pinkberry was amazing, and it tasted very refreshing. I finally understood what everyone was talking about, and I was going to hop on the bandwagon. I came home and did some research, here are some facts about Pinkberry:
- Approx. 50 Locations and Growing (California and New York)
- o Store Locator
- Calories without any toppings
- o Small 98 Calories
- o Medium 154 Calories
- o Large 252 Calories
- Competitors include Swirls, Kiwiberri, Red Mango USA
- Pinkberry took in an $27.5M investment from Maveron, the venture fund founded by Starbucks founder Howard Schultz
- Pinkberry founders: Shelly Hwang and Young Lee
- Pinkberry serves:
- o Yogurt (Original, Green Tea, Coffee)
- o Smoothies
- o Shaved Ice (Only CA stores)
- o Toppings: Capn’ Crunch, Kiwi, Rasberries, Yogurt Chips, Almonds, Pineapples, Blackberries, Cookies N Cream, Banana, Carob Chips, Mango, Coconut, Granola, Chocolate Chips, Fruity Pebbles, Blueberries, Coco Pebbles, Strawberry

I live in Fort Collins, Colorado. At one time, we had (2) frozen yogurt stores in Fort Collins, however, both have closed recently. Are there any plans for a Pinkberry store in Colorado? Maybe, in Fort Collins??

Jan Padgett – There’s a Cefiore in Boulder, which is IMHO is better than Pinkberry. Same tart delicious yogurt with more toppings. Might be worth a shot if you make it to Boulder, which isn’t too far from Fort Collins.
