5 Things To Know About Pinkberry

Citrus Park now has a taste of Hollywood.

Pinkberry Frozen Yogurt , a favorite among celebrities, opened its second Tampa Bay location today at 7002 Gunn Highway 102
Tampa, FL 33624. The grand opening includes a free small swirl with unlimited toppings until 10pm today (Thursday, Aug. 11.)

A walk inside the shop reveals a cool, spa-like vibe replete with soothing green walls, ethereal white lamps and a floor made of small pebbles that we're told feel good to the bare foot. We can't be sure of it, but what we do know is that Pinkberry yogurt is good and good for you.

Patch caught up with Peter Casey, director of east coat operations for Pinkberry, to chat about what keeps people coming back for more.

Patch: When did Pinkberry open its first store?

Peter Casey: In 2005. Our first store was in West Hollywood. (Pinkberry now has over 100 locations all over the world, including Kuwait, Russia, Turkey and Peru.)

Patch: Why did you select Citrus Park for this location?

Casey: What makes this area special is the great community. This location gives us a great chance to connect with the community.

Patch: How many flavors does Pinkberry offer?
