| - What is a Pinkberry. Is it (A) that a new GMO berry created in a lab? Or (B) a hydroponically cultivated strawberry that resembles a regular strawberry, but with less than 40% of the sweetness and taste of a traditional strawberry, or (C) that incredibly innovative global yogurt retailer that offers craveable and nutritious selections of fresh and frozen yogurts to their beloved army of loyal "crackberry" addicts?
If you don't know, pick "C", that is what the Princeton Review staff would advice you in the event you can't narrow down any of the answer choices or you are running out of time, in which case you probably did not get your money's worth from their test prep course.
If you knew the answer without having to even read the multiple guess options, then congratulations you just earn yourself a free small serving of Pinkberry on me*.
* Legal disclaimer: Free Pinkberry offer valid only at the Boca Park location, and must be redeemed on May 15, 2014. Offer may not be combined with any other offer or promotions. Tips not included, but would be appreciated.
Here is a crash course primer on Pinkberry:
Pinkberry locations are pretty much all the same. Pinkberry corporate pretty much dictates the look of each of their Pinkberry embassies spread out across the world. It is essentially a cookie cutter, turnkey, practically no-brainer investment opportunity for the well to do individuals. If you have the money, you would want to own one too! Why? Because it is only like the "leading frozen yogurt brand for franchising"
It is successful because little kids love it (as in all Pinkberry locations) here, they drag their parents here after soccer practice. Milfs stop by here after doing yoga in their Lululemon yoga pants or leg days at the gym. Tweens congregate here because, well, school is pretty much over now, and it is the cool place to hang for 15 minutes. Any longer than that, then you are not one of the cool kids with people to do and places to see. A to C-list celebrities love, and I mean LOVE Pinkberry. If this location is in SoCal, say Santa Monica, then you have a good chance of seeing random celebrities without their stage makeup, waiting in line like the rest of the peasants, trying to enjoy their day and have a cool, healthy refreshing froyo like the rest of their fellow top ~35% socioeconomic peer group.
Their stores' interior is bright white (evokes thoughts of cleanliness, coolness, especially during the summer heatwave), and they offer just a few flavors of froyo, shakes and smoothies, but their toppings bar is fairly diverse and the fresh fruits are as fresh as fruits cut up that same day can be. Average price is in line with your typical fast food combo meals (my small Pinkberry with 2 toppings will set you back $6 and change, which is what their smoothies will cost before factoring in the obligatory tax), but packs significantly less calories and is made from healthful ingredients.
This Boca Park location is fairly small, not much room to sit inside on super hot Las Vegas summer days, but there are outdoor seating under the shade of umbrellas. Parking can be a drag too, since there are just so many other must hit up shops and restaurants in the same complex. Staff is mostly young high schoolers, so they are at least working to cover their their crackberry addictions. BUt super convenient if you are already in the vicinity shopping, taking a break from your Sambalatte coffee break, or stocking up on adult beverages at Total Wine.
Easy 4 stars for this extremely easy to fall in love with healthful and constantly innovating frozen yogurt concept that originated from similar froyo shop out of S. Korea.
