Hello to all purveyors of tart froyo ! My name is Erin, and this is my first post, as I will be taking over the Midwest Frozen Yogurt Blog. We should all wish Kate (and Chloe) good luck and best wishes as she departs for New York City. Thanks for keeping this up through the years! I currently live in the Chicago area and was hooked on tart frozen yogurt the first time I tried it on a trip to California.
Last weekend I was able to attend the Grand Opening of the new Red Mango in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois. While I enjoyed one free small original with 1 topping and was able to speak with the midwest district manager. Here are a few updates:
-Indianapolis Red Mango location will be opening within a few weeks
-A location at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio has been slated
-Hopes to open a location in Ann Arbor, Michigan sometime soon (Go Wolverines!)
Berry Chill (based out of Chicago, Illinois) will be opening two new locations in the next few months: one at the Merchandise Mart and another on Belmont near the Red Line.
Lastly, (thanks to my helpful brother-in-law for checking on this) the new Yogobliss is up and running in Ann Arbor, Michigan! Here is the info for anyone in town, or passing through since there is not a website yet:
Yogobliss
1229 S University Ave

I attend Ohio State...any idea when they are planning on opening on campus? Do you have any other info on this? So exciting! Thanks!
berry chill is ok but the service is terrible and they are so rude. I called asking for a delivery within the hours of their service and because they were "backed up" with orders they did not want to deliver to me. I honestly think that although we are all feeling pinch of the economy the owner of berry chill is not and snobs regular customers such as myself when they cant pull it together. I really cannot wait for pink berry to get here and show them how its really done.
Since this is the midwestern fro yo blog, you may want to know that there is a self serve spot in Oak Park called YoGo Station.
Rumor was Ann Arbor, but the Clark store should be ready by May
I don't know if my post went through, but Michigan is not 100% confirmed, but OSU is and the Clark store will be ready sometime in May
What about Wisconsin? Nothing is posted about Wisconsin :(
Since Yogobliss opened a few weeks ago in Ann Arbor, I have been their number 1 customer (according to the owners)......and somewhat of an addict/stalker (according to my husband ;-)
The owners of Yogobliss have done a wonderful job with the interior (they have the requisite stark/modern decor that all of the new yogurt shops have), but more importantly, the yogurt is AWESOME! Tart and tangy and not too sweet. They are generous with their toppings and all of the fruit is really fresh. I happily wait in the line that is usually extended out the door (I am so glad that it is doing as well as it is!)
For anyone craving Pinkberry/Red Mango/Berry Chill/Ce Fiore, come on down to Ann Arbor, you are sure to love Yogobliss :-)
I have not heard anything about Wisconsin, sorry- I will update the first I find out! :)
Thanks for all great news. Yogen Fruz was opened at Madison and Franklin at Chicago. They just have frequent customers cards that you buy 10 and get one free. Their frozen yogurt are great too. Give it a try. Here is the review from yelp: http://www.yelp.com/biz/yogen-fruz-chicago-3
Welcome, Erin! The Red Mango in Indianapolis is now open. I visited with a friend last weekend and had a good experience. - The staff was friendly, the flavors were great (original, citrus-blend with a crazy name, green tea, and pomegranate) and the toppings were fresh and yummy.
