Pinkberry

Pinkberry! Two flavors and loads of toppings keep the lines forming outside this chain of frozen yogurt shops and we knew them when.

We have also recently begun providing a customized Replica Noguchi Dining Table as well as some of our Celery Fiberglass Side Shell Chairs on Chrome Eiffel Bases for some of the Pinkberry stores.

The upscale frozen dessert franchise Pinkberry is expanding by leaps and bounds. Opened by 34-year-old Southern California entrepreneur Shelly Hwang and 47-year-old South Korean bouncer turned architect Young Lee, the dynamic dou has created a cultural phenomenon at the heart of the new American Express commercial for the “Plum Card.”

Lee joked that opening a cold-dessert shop in the winter was “the worst business decision we ever made.” Pinkberry’s sales from the first month were only $70, primarily from neighbors who felt bad for them. By the second month, Pinkberry turned a profit and pretty soon thereafter, people were standing in line for 20 to 30 minutes for their own cup of frozen goodness! Today, there are 58 stores, mostly located in Southern California with thirteen in New York City.

In October  2007, Pinkberry took an $27.5M investment to expand the firm’s concept nationwide. Congratulations to Shelly Hwang and Young Lee!
