Grand Opening of Yogurtland in Bellevue - Yum!

Proud Yogurtland Owners, Lauren & Gregg Bennett

Tonight at the invitation of ZINO Society members and the proud owners of their new Yogurtland store, Lauren & Gregg Bennett, I went to the Yogurtland grand opening in Bellevue.  This is Lauren's and Gregg's third store. They already have others in the University District and in Wallingford and they are planning to open two additional stores in Redmond and Kent within the next two months.

The self-serve frozen yogurt concept is a Southern California franchise.  There are around 150 Yogurtland stores throughout the country with the heaviest concentration in California and Florida.

The Bellevue Yogurtland store was packed with guests celebrating the opening and trying out all the delicious yogurt and topping varieties.  I personally tried the Double Chocolate Cookies & Cream and French Vanilla yogurt with cookie dough and Butterfinger toppings.  Yum!!

Some of the friends and celebrants at the grand opening included Bellevue Mayor Conrad Lee, Fredda & Steven Goldfarb, Doug Ebstyne, Nancy Heen, Peter Chalmers, Dino Rossi, John Otter, Toni Hoffman and a group of Bellevue Chamber of Commerce supporters including Kim Fredericks.

There was an official ribbon cutting, though we were a bit worried that Lauren was considering cutting off Gregg's head with the giant scissors!  Congratulations, Lauren and Gregg!
