sweetFrog Premium Frozen Yogurt ranks #1 in Restaurant Magazine’s Annual Ranking of Fastest Growing Establishments. This is sweetFrog’s fourth year of unprecedented growth, ranking it #1 on Restaurant Magazine’s fastest growing restaurant concepts this year.
What’s their secret to this kind of success? Along with high-quality premium yogurt, Community Engagement and Giving Back are core to sweetFrog’s growth strategy. A “good neighbor” policy of community engagement permeates day to day operations at sweetFrog. sweetFrog is a “network of mom and pop shops who are invested in their local community”, says James Denison, PR/Social Media Associate.
Just last week, sweetFrog commemorated the opening of their 300th location by partnering with Share our Strength’s (SOS) “Dine Out For no Kid Hungry Day” program to help connect kids with meals. The “300 for 300,000 Campaign” was launched to help feed many of our nation’s hungry children.
Participating sweetFrog locations donated proceeds from sales on Sunday, September 22, 2013 to SOS. The goal was to help raise enough money to connect as many as 300,000 meals to children. A portion of the proceeds raised will remain in the communities where they were raised.
Other in store events included:
- Canned food drives, with food given to local food banks
- In-store donations from customers were collected on behalf of SOS
- Customers participation was rewarded through a sweepstakes with thee grand-prize winners earning 100 cups of sweetFrog yogurt
Kudos to employees of the Lawrenceville, GA store who donated their tip jars for the entire week to SOS.
