Red Mango

Red Mango

Red Mango is one of the fastest growing vendors of frozen yogurt. Since its opening in 2007, the company has opened more than 130 stores in the US. It has received the Nation's Restaurant News' "Hot Concepts!" award and the SupplySide's "Scientific Excellence Award." It has also been named the best frozen yogurt in Los Angeles, Seattle, Las Vegas, Chicago, Utah and New York by highly regarded independent publications. Red Mango is the first frozen yogurt retailer to earn the National Yogurt Association's Live and Active Cultures seal for meeting the required criteria for healthy frozen yogurt. Red Mango was ranked number one in Zagat’s 2011 national survey in both the “Best Smoothie/ Frozen Yogurt” category and the "Top Healthy Options within the Quick Refreshments Chains” category. Here is the clip from Today News when these survey results were announced. 

When you walk into any Red Mango store you are greeted by a variety of flavors and toppings. You have the freedom to choose any flavor or any combination of flavors and then can add whatever toppings you want. The flavors range from pomegranate and mango to peanut butter and cake batter with everything in between. It has flavors for the healthy fruit lovers to the people with a little bit of a sweet tooth. When you get to the toppings bar you have the same variety. My personal favorite is a blend of coconut and raspberry ice cream with pineapples, strawberries, and raspberries on top. The only downside of Red Mango is that you have so much control that sometimes I just can’t stop myself from going overboard. It has a pay by weight system so sometimes it can be very expensive.

Red Mango’s biggest competitor would probably be Pinkberry. I personally enjoy Red Mango more because you have the control to literally make any creation you want. According to this review from the Fast Food Maven she also agrees with me.
