Healthy Fast Food, Inc. to Acquire the Rights to New Frozen Yogurt Concept
U-Swirl Frozen Yogurt SM, a new self-serve frozen yogurt café with rapid expansion plans.
Henderson, NV, September 22, 2008: Healthy Fast Food, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: HFFI, HFFIW, HFFIZ), announced today that it will acquire the worldwide rights to the U-Swirl Frozen YogurtSM concept, with the intention of franchising the self-serve yogurt café into a national chain. The U-Swirl Frozen Yogurt concept will be owned by U-SWIRL International, Inc., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Healthy Fast Food, Inc.
“We have been watching the frozen yogurt segment and saw the opportunity for the right team to roll out a national self-serve frozen yogurt concept,” said Hank Cartwright, CEO of Healthy Fast Food, Inc. “And, with U-Swirl, we saw a concept that really looked at the industry and created a yogurt superstore in a café setting that was ready for national roll out. Since it is a self-serve concept, it provides guests with the ultimate choice of 16 flavors of non-fat yogurt and over 40 toppings, while also providing a very efficient store model, which is important during these tough economic times.”
U-SWIRL allows guests the ultimate choice in frozen yogurt by providing 16 non-fat flavors, including tart, traditional and no sugar-added options and more than 40 toppings, including seasonal fresh fruit, sauces, candy and granola. Guests serve themselves and pay by the ounce instead of by the cup size. An alternative to a coffee shop hang out, locations are furnished with couches and tables, patio seating and provide free Wi-Fi access.
