The 100th Red Mango store, now open at 1009 E. Broadway, in Columbia, Missouri, set a new milestone for the company's rapid expansion and rising consumer demand for the healthy and delicious treats that Red Mango is serving up in record numbers.

"The public's devotion to Red Mango has been huge, championing the growth of our franchise across America and redefining the way people eat. We wanted to say thank you in the boldest, richest way," said Dan Kim, founder and chief concept officer of Red Mango. "Our new lowfat, all-natural Dark Chocolate frozen yogurt is a tribute to the health, taste and style that has made our brand a national success."

On Saturday, the first 100 customers at every participating Red Mango location will receive special pricing and collectible gifts. Full-serve locations will offer collectible coupons for a small serving of Dark Chocolate frozen yogurt for just $1 and a free limited edition Mango-flavored Red Mango lip balm.  Self-serve locations will give away the free lip balm and distribute collectible coupons good for any flavor of frozen yogurt with toppings for only $0.10 per ounce.

"It's a party for 10,000 customers with one of the most decadent additions to our menu, and we're ready to have some fun," Kim said.

Red Mango's Dark Chocolate frozen yogurt is made with Ghirardelli premium dark chocolate and Red Mango's all-natural nonfat yogurt. The rich and creamy sensation also offers antioxidants naturally found in chocolate, and features patented probiotics like Ganeden BC30™ that help promote a healthy immune and digestive system.

"Like all of our other frozen yogurt and smoothies, our newest Dark Chocolate yogurt creation offers an indulgent and craveable treat that people can enjoy in an all-natural, healthy and guilt-free way," Kim shared. "Our 100th store in Columbia makes us proud to meet people's desires and we look forward to adding 100 more stores this year."
