July 13, 2015 // Franchising.com // PALATINE, Ill. – Menchie’s, the friendliest place on earth with a mission to make every guest smile, has opened its newest store in Palatine, IL at 789 E. Dundee Road, Palatine, IL 60074. Offering high quality, delicious self-serve frozen yogurt, Menchie’s is sure to become a Palatine favorite!
To celebrate the opening, Menchie’s will spread smiles with a seven-day grand opening celebration from Saturday, July 18 to Friday, July 24 packed with free giveaways including t-shirts, Menchie’s merchandise, family-friendly activities and free servings of its best-in-class frozen yogurt.
“Menchie’s mission of spreading smiles was what attracted me to venture outside of my career in corporate America,” said franchisee, Jeff Podjasek. “Having grown up in Palatine, Menchie’s emphasis on giving back to a community resonated well with my family and we immediately jumped at the opportunity to bring the complete Menchie’s experience to our area.”
The new self-serve store offers an unparalleled experience that is welcoming, fun and interactive, with arts and crafts for kids, enjoyable music and indoor/outdoor seating areas where friends and family gather. Guests can choose from a variety of rotating yogurt flavors and delicious toppings for unlimited combinations, ensuring happiness in every cup.
Menchie’s is also committed to giving back to each community it serves. Stores partner with local schools in fundraising activities and education incentive programs. Each Menchie’s store donates thousands of dollars in cash and products annually to local schools to support student programs.
The company is a world leader in ensuring best-in-class products, and considers itself the ambassador of frozen yogurt quality worldwide. Menchie’s ensures that only the highest quality milk and flavors are used to make its frozen yogurt. The proprietary collection is made from the milk of “smiley” California cows, which have not been treated with artificial growth hormones (rBST). Menchie’s frozen yogurt contains live and active cultures and has received the Live and Active Culture (LAC) seal indicating its endorsement by the National Yogurt Association.
