A 'Sweet' new shop

Sweet Frog Premium Frozen Yogurt is warming up for a sweet summer, with the first Tennessee location near Hamilton Place now open and a second location near the Hixson Walmart to open in early April.

"We wanted to get into the yogurt business and we weren't sure which one we wanted to do, so we researched 10 to 12 concepts across the country," says Szostek, who will be the key operator of Sweet Frog under Odus Mundy, who also owns the area Fazoli's locations. "The reason we chose Sweet Frog is we thought the quality of the product was the best. Sweet Frog was the only one we'd seen that had recipes for their yogurt with real ingredients. You will come in and pick up a cup and choose from 16 flavors with eight swirls and over 60 toppings."

Everything from mango to strawberry yogurt will be available at the new yogurt shops. Each sweet treat is prepared using premium ingredients, including Ghirardelli hot fudge and chocolates, real fruit and other select fixings and toppings. The restaurant itself will be a creative and inspiring atmosphere for guests, with trendy touches like handmade lily pad-shaped tables along with upscale granite counter tops and wood floors.

"I am really excited about Sweet Frogs," Szostek says. "I think it is going to be a perfect fit in the city."
