We can’t wait to have everyone join in on the fun!”
Menchie’s guests help themselves to an unlimited mix of yogurt and toppings at a unique self-serve station with more than 100 rotating yogurt flavors ranging from cake batter and pomegranate tart to chocolate silk and vanilla snow, and more than 70 rotating toppings including fresh fruits, granolas, nuts, an assortment of candies and hot fudges.
Menchie’s uses the highest quality frozen yogurt at all of its locations globally, made exclusively through its own private label. Furthermore, 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.
Menchie’s success comes from helping guests create memories in a family-friendly environment that is both warm and welcoming. The interactive store experience, relaxing indoor and outdoor seating areas, and enjoyable music create the ideal place for families to gather every day. To make the experience a little sweeter, Menchie’s provides free stickers and balloons to children at the store.
Menchie’s is also actively involved in the communities 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.
Menchie’s The Shoppes at Hamilton Place is located at 2040 Hamilton Place Boulevard in Chattanooga and is open Sunday through Thursday 11 a.m. – 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. – 11 p.m. For more information, please call (423) 531-8020 or visit www.menchies.com.
