Frozen yogurt shop coming to town

103

A build-it-yourself Yogurt Jungle shop featuring 12 flavors and 55 toppings is coming to Maricopa.

“Maricopa has nothing like this,” said store owner Sharilynn Hewitt.

Construction on the frozen yogurt shop located at 21101 N. John Wayne Parkway is near completion. Hewitt and her husband Alex Casillas plan to begin hiring employees in mid-February.

“We expect to be open by early March,” Hewitt said.

The shop will be the couple’s second Yogurt Jungle store. Their first store opened in Queen Creek two years ago.

The way Yogurt Jungle works, customers enter the store, fill a bowl with the soft serve of their choice and mound on the toppings.

The delicious low-fat concoction is then placed on a scale and the customer is charged according to weight.

“This is all about having it your way and being healthy at the same time,” Hewitt said.

Job interviews will be conducted at the store location in Maricopa Marketplace on Feb. 17 and 24, from noon until 3 p.m.
