Spoon Me today announced it will open four new franchise stores in Logan, Riverdale, Layton and Harrisville, Utah. These stores will join five other locations of the high-energy, tongue-in-cheek, frozen yogurt experience that is now franchising throughout North America. www.spoonmefranchise.com :

“We’re excited to expand into northern Utah and introduce the people of these cities to our great-tasting frozen

yogurt experience,” said Ryan Combe, CEO of Spoon Me. “We are confident the people and community will embrace what Spoon Me stands for and its involvement in the community.”

"What sold me on owning a Spoon Me franchise was the core values of the company--good for the body, good for the community, and good for the environment," said Sue Measom, owner of the Spoon Me in Logan, Utah.
"Working with the Spoon Me franchise team has brought ease and transparency to the franchising process. I am confident in their knowledge and continual support as we move forward to the opening.”

Spoon Me will continue to grow and has plans for new locations in Western Canada and throughout the Intermountain West. Spoon Me is leading the way with eco-friendly products—the cups, straws, napkins, garbage bags, and even the spoons are 100 percent biodegradable within 90 days. Spoon Me’s philosophy revolves around the caring system (see below) that is set out to change the world one spoon at a time.

Spoon Me’s threefold mission to care for the body we live in, the people we live with and the earth we live on is accomplished through the following initiatives.

- Spoon Me loves the environment. Spoon Me is a green company that works hand-in-hand with several companies to ensure it does its part to maintain the environment. Everything customers use in Spoon Me stores is biodegradable--including the spoons, which are made of cornstarch.


- Spoon Me loves your body. Spoon Me frozen yogurt and smoothies are made from all natural ingredients, making it healthy, light and delicious. At only 83 calories per serving, Spoon Me frozen yogurt is fat free and contains no table sugar or artificial sweeteners.


- Spoon Me loves its community. Instead of accepting tips, Spoon Me stores accept donations to a new local charity each month with its Keep the Change Charity program. Spoon Me also provides a community board for local and volunteer activities.

“Spoon Me is not just frozen yogurt, it’s an experience, including Spoon Me branded clothing and a hip social environment,” said Ryan Combe, Spoon Me CEO. “We want to bring people together, and this atmosphere provides a fun, high-energy scene, where people can enjoy the environment all while spooning.” See video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1OgW79vdvg :

Spoon Me franchises are a fun and exciting place to own. Opportunities to franchise are available to a wide range of business owners such as recent college graduates, business investors and professional owner operators. Franchise owners receive training to operate and maintain a Spoon Me franchise. The store is simple to run and the labor force is easy to find and retain. Ongoing support and training is available to franchisees through the Group Spoon online support network.
