Frozen Yogurt fans or for those who've never tried the tart-flavored frozen yogurt

What a clever way to market. Reading this thread has given me the urge to drive over there.



Look out for an asian dude with his girlfriend. If I can ever convince my girlfriend to sway from PinkBerry and try something new.
 
No kidding shooby, now I'm craving a Cantaloop concoction !



There is one is Hollywood, but every time I try and stop in, some hot call comes out (or the line is out the door). Same goes for Pink's hot dogs. You know, I've lived here for 12 years and I've never had a Pink's. You have no idea how many times I've driven by and cursed the snaking line....on weekends it goes around the building until 3:00 a.m. !



I'm making it a promise to myself to get into the HWD Cantaloop this week !



I have a funny story about this Cantaloop too....I handled a "found gun" (!) call there about 6 months ago. Seems someone went in and used the employee john and left their revolver on the toilet tank. No kidding.



Cantaloop....do you know the HWD owners ?
 
I (finally) went last week. Had a half blueberry and half original with raspberries and blackberries (trying to delude myself that it was healthy). It was really good!
 
[quote author="cantaloop" date=1214907740]I was there earlier today. Sorry I missed you. I'm glad you had a good experience. When I'm not there, I have no idea what the employees do ;)</blockquote>


Your employees were not aware of the IHB discount, but gave it to us anyway. :) I think knowing your real first name helped.

You got the whole IR2 family in there today, too. I, of course, had the tart flavored loop with lychees, mangoes and raspberries again. (Still waiting to see my AKA on your special order board, by the way.) Mrs. Deuce had the blueberries, raspberries, and gummy bears on the vanilla. And IR2,Jr had a kid's loop.



Solid work, cantaloop. Wishing you all the best.
 
Is that the secret code? Knowing his real first name? I can't just say..."But Cantaloop referred us here for a $1 discount!"



So is Canta the first name? :)

I have heard the same thing about Pinks. I have lived here most of my life, and I have never been there because 1. the line is always too long and I don't have the patience, and 2. everyone always says "dude, it's not worth the wait, Dodger dogs are better."



I have been meaning to try Portillos since they have opened, and I have heard only good things about them.



Hopefully I never find a revolver in the Cantaloop bathroom here. But, it is in Santa Ana, so it is not impossible. I will give you a call Troop if I do.

Cantaloop....do you know the HWD owners ?</blockquote>


Yes, I know the owners. How funny. I'll ask them about the 'gun' situation. Guns and Yogurt.. What a match!

Or you can just print out the coupons from this page ;)



Next time you're in the store, hopefully we'll meet. I'll let the staff know to give our friends at IHB the special $1 off.
 
Poor cantaloop, I stopped by there to meet up with IR and houseonlegs. I asked if cantaloop was there, but he wouldn't be there until the weekend. I know how he wanted to meet IR, but man... if you are hardly ever there, how can that happen? But, good for you on being an absentee owner, it means you are doing it right. Maybe another time.

Oh man... I missed you, all!! They have me working the weekends (when no one else wants to work) and when I need to pay the bills. I also missed out on Guava. It's tough to have 2 jobs, all so that I can afford to one day buy in Irvine.
 
[quote author="Shooby" date=1215855032]With the % mark up on frozen yogurt these days....you will be in a house in no time...</blockquote>


That's what I was hoping for. But given how expensive the rent is and the slowdown in the economy, it's still going to be a while.



Time to talk with the Landlord.
 
[quote author="momopi" date=1215989916]Cantaloop, congrats on receiving positive review by elite members of Yelp:

Thanks, but you know I'm paying those people off to write good reviews. ;) Actually I never knew what an elite member was until I looked it up. I guess that's why I'm still a Homeless Newbie.
 
[quote author="cantaloop" date=1210847823] If you visit outside the grand opening hours, mention IHB and we'll give you a $1 off any frozen yogurt ;)</blockquote>


Just need to clarify : Since we always have new employees, we can no longer honor the 'IHB' code word for $1 off. You will need to print out and use a valid coupon for discounts. The employees were getting confused with a few folks coming in and name dropping and then expecting free or discounted yogurt. Sorry about that.



I've attached a 50% off coupon for our new smoothies. Come in and let us know what you think!

As soon as September rolled around, we saw a dramatic decrease in sales. Not sure if its because the kiddies are back in school, or this horrible economy. That's why we're introducing new products and experimenting with different marketing activities.
