U-Swirl expanding to Arizona

August 17, 2010

U-Swirl Frozen Yogurt Cafe will expand to the desert this fall. Healthy Fast Food, Inc., parent company to U-Swirl International, Inc., announced that an area developer in Phoenix has signed leases for the first two of 18 planned stores in Arizona.

Arizona Swirl, LLC, was awarded area development rights by U-Swirl International last year and is ready to move forward with plans for the self-serve frozen yogurt cafes.

Arizona Swirl will open its first two cafes in specialty retail centers in Mesa and Paradise Valley. Construction on the stores will begin immediately and both are expected to hold grand opening events in the late fall.

Both locations will feature a rotational selection of 16 non-fat, non-sugar and tart frozen yogurt selections and dozens of toppings.

"Our decision to go with U-Swirl was driven in large measure by three factors: first was the fact that U-Swirl is led by a seasoned, highly accomplished team of franchise professionals; second was the fact that U-Swirl boasts a very attractive and proven profitable business model that is franchisee-centric; and finally, the U-Swirl self-serve concept is based on delivering consumers a truly remarkable and fun frozen yogurt experience," said Steve Cook, managing member of Arizona Swirl.
