Yogurt Bar at Mission Opens With Nearby Hotels, Businesses and Shoppers in Mind


SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - July 8, 2008) - Yogurt Bar, the first dedicated frozen yogurt chain in the city, today announced the grand opening of Yogurt Bar at Mission -- just steps from the Westfield Shopping Center on Mission Street, between 3rd and New Montgomery. The expansion signifies a demand for customers wanting all natural frozen yogurt complimented by fresh fruit and other toppings. Yogurt Bar's secret recipe incorporates natural ingredients bringing a delicious yogurt taste that is both unique and refreshing.

In addition to the yogurt line -- which boasts an astoundingly low 17 calories per ounce, customers can also order custom smoothies from the following blends: Green Tea Zen, Berry Delicious, Chocolate Lover's and Tropical Breeze.

Yogurt Bar's core product line includes three staple frozen yogurt flavors, original plain, chocolate and green tea, along with the option of a fruit flavor that rotates monthly. Toppings include 21 options such as a large selection of fresh berries and tropical fruit, as well as dry choices such as mochi, nuts, cereal and chocolate. New additions to the Yogurt Bar menu include parfaits made with non-fat natural yogurt, fresh fruit and granola and a variety of other healthy snack and beverage options including Pop Chips and Hansen's Natural Sodas, to name a few.

"We have been thrilled with the reception San Francisco has given us over the last year and are pleased that we can meet the demand of residents wanting a healthy dessert alternative,'" said Racquel Olea, founder of Yogurt Bar. "Yogurt Bar at Mission signifies a new chapter for us as we will cater to downtown and serve both residents who may be shopping and out-of-town visitors in the area. We also look forward to offering a fresh alternative to nearby businesses."

To celebrate both the one-year anniversary of Yogurt Bar in San Francisco and the grand opening of the Mission Street location, Yogurt Bar is thanking their customers by offering a second yogurt or smoothie for 50 percent off with the purchase of any full size frozen product. Yogurt Bar will run the promotion through July 19th.

New options being rolled out with the grand opening include both gift card choices and a Customer Loyalty program that rewards frequent visitors with special perks. Yogurt Bar at Mission also plans on offering catering options for businesses located within five blocks.
