Frozen yogurt and smoothie retailer increasing Florida presence thanks to multi-unit development agreements

DALLAS, Sept. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Red Mango, the fastest growing retailer of all-natural nonfat frozen yogurt and fresh fruit smoothies, opened its first Florida location earlier this year in Gainesville to record turnout. Now the company is poised to add 12 more locations throughout the state.

Red Mango recently signed franchise agreements with two Florida-based entrepreneurs. Phil Okun has signed a development agreement to open five stores, starting with the first Red Mango in Boca Raton. And Enrique Aguerrevere has signed a three-store multi-unit agreement for the Miami area.  

Okun and Aguerrevere join Florida franchisee Terri Keogh, who opened the state's first Red Mango last March. Keogh plans to develop five locations total, and will open her second store later this year in Tallahassee.

"The first Florida Red Mango immediately attracted a huge audience and continues to build its customer base," said James Franks, vice president of franchising for Red Mango. "It was clear that Florida was ready for more Red Mango. Now, thanks to these new development agreements, we're able to share our healthy, nutritious frozen yogurt, smoothies and parfaits with some of the hottest markets in the state."

Red Mango, which received the 2009 Nation's Restaurant News' "Hot Concepts!" award, opened its first store in Los Angeles in July 2007 and has grown to 75 locations across 25 states.

Red Mango is currently awarding franchise opportunities in select markets across the country. More information is available at www.redmangofranchising.com.
