Redmond's Red Mango Reopens as Self Serve Frozen Yogurt

National chain Red Mango on Friday announced the re-opening of its newly remodeled Redmond location at Redmond Town Center, 16515 NE 74th Street.

The store is now a self-serve location allowing guests to swirl their own yogurt and choose their own toppings. The cost is determined by the weight versus a set price.

“We’re excited about the changes we’ve made to the store format,” owner Rachanee Phaladiganon said in a news release. “A self-serve location really enhances the guest experience and allows them to create their own unique flavor combination and then finish it off with any of the healthy and/or decadent toppings we offer.” 

The Redmond location opened in September 2010 and is among more than 200 Red Mango stores across the country with six located in the state including Bellevue, Lynnwood, Tukwila and two in Seattle. The Redmond store is open Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. – 8 p.m. and on Sunday 11 a.m. – 7 p.m.   

The store will host an all-day grand re-opening celebration Saturday, March 16 from 10 a.m. – 8 p.m. Customers will be treated to a free small yogurt with their choice of toppings and will receive giveaways while supplies last. 

Red Mango offers customers frozen yogurt, yogurt parfaits and fresh fruit smoothies.  Some of the benefits of Red Mango as touted by the news release include:  

• All-natural, nonfat and low fat yogurt
• Yogurt fortified with beneficial live and active probiotic cultures to support the immune and digestive systems when consumed as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle
• Gluten-free yogurt
• Kosher yogurt, and most smoothies are Kosher as well
• Fresh fruit and other sweet topping options
• Each serving of frozen yogurt is around 100 calories
• Club Mango® customer loyalty program

Some of the frozen yogurt flavors that will be offered at the Redmond location include Nutty Potion, Milk Chocolate, Strawberry, Mango, Pomegranate, White Peach and Coconut. Toppings include fresh fruit, nuts and granola as well as dark chocolate chips and rainbow sprinkles.

Red Mango has competition in the self-serve fro-yo business in Redmond. Seattle-based Zoëyogurt opened in Bella Botega in 2012. There's also , next to Panera.
