With one of our own FlameFans adding another entry to this category, the competition just became more challenging. Will Sweet Frog's leap off its pad atop the category?

Sly, with all due respect, Spoon Me!

And how about the milkshakes at Cook-Out?

There's one obvious choice here;) B-L-O-O-P

Two of those yogurt shops serve the same yogurt, that is anything but Premium.

Mr. Goodies doesn't even have confidence in his own products or value the idea of competition.

One of those yogurt shops serves Powdered mix - do I need to say more?

Cold Stone is very good, but just not going there more than once a month. Too expensive, slow and unhealthy.

Dropped TCBY and DQ and not Sundae Grill? ;) Do you they really Grill their Sundae's?

I kid - there are some really good choices in this town, but I truly think Bloop is a better product - healthier, fresher and sells for a better reason. AND if we win, the only store willing to announce this award on their Facebook and Twitter to help promote the BEST athletics forum on the web:)

Im voting for Sundae Grill. I like Bloop and Sweet Frog and Coldstone, but my vote is for this reason most importantly...not only is the ice cream good at Sundae Grill...the people that work there are some of the nicest people Ive met to boot...and they actually make an effort to talk to you too (especially the owner Mr. "BH").

Bloop is good an all but Mr. Goodies "small" ice cream is the size of your head. I could eat the orange soft serve all day. And the peach cobbler milkshake at cookout is awesome. I just can't vote for yogurt over either of those.

Just the name makes it sound like a place SMOOTH and ATrain would hang out :shock:

Bambi Lea. And after you stopped going through Berkley Springs she had to close her 'establishment'!

So bitter!!

Makes me like Mr Goodies more. Too bad I'm not around the burg anymore

You can have the best ice cream, but if you dont have people skills, having good ice cream or frozen yogurt is only gonna get you so far (which is why I didnt vote for either Mr Goodies or Bloop)

How was it childish on our side? We didn't even get involved... This was about Mr. Goodies - it was about the owner getting upset that we sold a franchise in the Winchester market 4 miles away from a Sweet Frog he already owns.

BJ - Was your customer experience at Bloop not good? I would love to know about it either way.

Proto- not for nothing but I've been to Bloop about a half a dozen times. Other then the first time the people/person at the front was very interested in talking to someone else who wasn't a customer. Not a big deal to me, because I'm not that interesting but I did have to help a Seasoned Citizen figure out how the operation worked. Hey, you asked about customer service! Of course, since I'm out that way today I'll be stopping in again.

It appears your intel was on the mark.
