Menchie's opens tomorrow. But while owner Leslie Castanha and husband Guy invited the West Seattle Herald in to shoot a few photos and look around the sparkling shop at about 4:00 p.m., a steady flow of hopeful, would-be Menchie's customers, some on their way to and from the Admiral Safeway just feet away, drifted in hoping for a taste of yogurt. Alas, the machines were busy serving a friends and family event for the evening.
Please see our previous story below:
Menchies Frozen Yogurt at 2620 California Ave. s.w. Suite 400 will open Nov. 21 in soft open, at 11 am. The Grand Opening will happen either Dec. 10 or 17.
The West Seattle Herald told you about the new frozen confection outlet in early September.
A franchise of a national company Menchies will offer indoor and outdoor seating and a "mix it up" yourself experience.
Menchies is a self-service, interactive, and customizable frozen yogurt cafe where customers dispense their own yogurt from a choice of over 100 rotating flavors of yogurt (16 rotating daily flavors), and move through lines to select from over 70 rotating “wet” and “dry” toppings. You are free to add as little or as many toppings as you want, then your unique treat is weighed and paid for by the ounce.
On hand for the opening will be the Menchies 'character' (who made a brief appearance in the area around Halloween).
The new store will provide 12 local jobs according to the company.
