Users who download the free application can search for Menchie's stores worldwide with ease and click-to-call the desired location or find driving directions in seconds. Within the app, users also receive details about new flavors, campaigns and discounts in the "View Promotions" tab.

Menchie's partnered with RAZUR, LLC of Atlanta, Georgia to develop and release the iPhone application. "This is just the first step for Menchie's," says Chris Merkle, CEO of RAZUR, "a mobile application is a great way to drive guest loyalty and brand engagement within the retail sector."

The Menchie's Yumm Finder app can be downloaded from Apple's iTunes store. The release is just a small part of Menchie's overall mobile strategy to integrate the application with the mySmileage loyalty program and rollout a new game app to further invite guests into the Menchie's world.

The company is a world leader in ensuring best-in-class products, and considers itself the ambassador of frozen yogurt quality worldwide. Guests can choose from more than 100 rotating yogurt flavors, a variety of over 70 delicious toppings and waffle bowls for unlimited combinations.

Menchie's ensures that only the highest quality milk and flavors are used to make its frozen yogurt. The proprietary collection is made from the milk of "smiley" California cows, which have not been treated with artificial growth hormones (rBST). 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.
