Pinkberry Kicks Off Summer with New Yogurt and Sugarpova Partnership

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - July 7, 2014) - Popular frozen yogurt brand Pinkberry is welcoming summer with seasonal yogurt flavours in-store and a partnership with Sugarpova, a premium gummy candy by tennis star Maria Sharapova

Famous for their frozen yogurt, smoothies, fresh fruit, luxe toppings and celebrity fans Pinkberry continues to be 'Taste Worth Obsessing Over.' Summer will welcome Pinkberry's 'Let's have a Great Summer" campaign with flavours such as strawberry banana, smores, and vanilla bean and treats such as the Pinkberry watermelon cooler, original yogurt with crushed and fresh watermelon and Pinkberry's very own take on the banana split: strawberry banana yogurt with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, marshmallow and honey graham. New toppings such as marshmallow fluff and Hershey's chocolate sauce will be available at all locations.

In addition to the brand's summer campaign, Pinkberry has partnered with Sugarpova (www.sugarpova.com), tennis star Maria Sharapova's premium line of gummy candy. Sugarpova candies include sour and traditional gummy flavours with names like speedy, sporty, cheeky and silly. Sugarpova will be available as a yogurt topping and sold in full size format to Pinkberry customers.

Pinkberry first opened in Vancouver in 2011 at Park Royal and has since expanded to four locations. Pinkberry representative Ken Thicke is "more than excited to be introducing Pinkberry's summer flavours and Sugarpova candy to Vancouverites and spreading the word to new clients," adding "it has been such a pleasure to see Pinkberry's fan base grow since we first opened three years ago and we're very much looking forward to summer 2014."
