Went to Bloop during halftime of the VMI game: nothing is too good my Mrs. Cider on Valentine's Day.

Plenty of parking at the Cider ranch! I was watching on ESPN3.

Yes, lost like a WVU cheerleader's teeth in a Morgantown bar fight.

Yes, indeed, Proto: I do love your mango and your pomegranite flavors! Mrs. Cider had some cake batter and a few others mixed together with some fruit on top.

I really like the pomegranate too. My wife doesn't though. More for me. I don't think she likes the tart flavor, which is what I like about it.

Roanoke is Franchised. We only have two corporate stores - Wyndhurst and Candlers. Franchises are opening in Roanoke, Greensboro and Charlottesville. Still waiting on a few loose ends to tie up on Logan and Katy, but should be done soon.

I humbly request a cheesy "Bloop there it is" parody commercial campaign get started before I try to come down for a game next fall.

You guys in Greensboro? We got to talk so we can make sure to not step on each others toes to much... (Or we can talk about turning your locations into bloops;) Already are in discussions with two SF about that right now down there... Elmsley Court. Address is on our website.

Bloop getting some free publicity from the local media.

Lynchburg already has seen a rise in the number of frozen yo-gurt shops, and now there are two more.
Bloop opened its first store in January at 1601 Enterprise Drive in Wyndhurst and opened its second location this month at 3700 Candlers Station. But the owners say they offer something else than frozen yogurt — a do-nation to charity to build fresh water wells in developing coun-tries.

No, that isn't competition. That's a good 30-45 min from us. I was just curious because we did a lot of research on Gboro shops before we opened Purple Penguin.

Cool. Wish you guys all the best with the Purple Penguin - maybe I will stop by on the way to Asheville next trip:)

More than likely... You guys there?

We have an office in Asheville already - so I'm there a good bit.

No, we're only at one location so far. I can't disclose locations in the works, but they are not towards the Asheville area :)

And I doubt you'll see Purple Penguin anywhere near Chapel Hill, either (some things are more important than money). :wink:
