I thought I’d throw in another Froyo update. ;) Froyo’s going really well.  Business has picked up thanks to Corey’s marketing genius and efforts.

At the moment, we’re still in the same location.  However, as of last Thursday, construction started on our new location! :D We’re a couple of weeks behind due to some mix-ups with the city, but we should move by the second week of July.  We’ll have a Grand Opening party and I’ll post details when we know more.

Corey and I are both excited to move to the new location.  We wish we would’ve been in by the 4th of July, but it’s okay.  We’ll be in for Pioneer Day.  We’re excited to get in all our new menu options when we move, especially our sorbet so we can offer our services to more people.

Even though we’re still in the old location, we’re slowly updating the look of Froyo.  Some things, like the sign on the old location, are still using the old brand because we don’t want to go through the effort or cost to change things just for a few weeks.  However, our new rugs and other promotional items have arrived.  We’re getting word out that Froyo’s better and more exciting than it used to be.

So far, most people that try our frozen yogurt love it, crave it, and want more. :D Most of our friends, family, and customers say it’s the best frozen yogurt they’ve had.  We’re always glad to hear such compliments because it helps make everything we’re doing worth it!

PS–When I say “we,” I really mean Corey since he’s doing most, if not all, the work right now.  I help a little, but since I still work at my current job, I have little time to do anything.

We had our first major emergency with Froyo yesterday.  After Corey picked me up from work, we dropped by the store to make sure everything was okay and to sample a little of our product.  (We just got new flavors and I hadn’t tasted them yet.)  Everything was great; no hiccups or anything.  We decided to go home and get some dinner before we were going to head over to our friends the Vigues’s to babysit the kids.

About 40 minutes before we were supposed to be at the Vigues’s, one of our employees called.  She was frantic because there was water spraying everywhere and she wasn’t sure what was going on. 8O We tried to talk her through turning the water off, but she was getting sprayed by water and couldn’t get the machines to move out of the way, especially while she was on the phone.  We called the Vigues and told them we had to bail on babysitting, which we were pretty sad about since we love their kids and we hated leaving them in the lurch like that.  Then, we headed over to Froyo.

By the time we got to Froyo, she had figured out how to turn the water off and was completely drenched.  (We offered to let her go home, but she told us she was fine.)  There was a small lake in the store. :? Our other employee came in just before us because she was going to help give out samples to a car show in the parking lot last night.  All four of us proceeded to mop/wipe up the gallons of water all over the place–floor, counters, machines, cabinets.  About two hours of clean up and five gallons of water later, we were back to normal. :D

Luckily, the only thing damaged was the reason for the flood in the first place.  One of the tubes to the ice cream scoop cleaner tub had split.  Even though it was lots of fun :| to deal with, it could’ve been a lot worse.  We’re grateful for our awesome employees and no damage done!

Our new location is looking sweeter and sweeter all the time.
