The logo should tell you this is clearly a pinkberry/red mango/16 Handles style yogurt place. Can’t the south side have ANYTHING good? (Okay, besides De Mole)
Math jokes! I love it!!
Sooooo stoked for this!
oshea- I didn’t need shoes, just laces. Sorry if you missed my point, but thanks for chiming in. I try to support local merchants; it would be great if we all took advantage of our options. I like convenience, too, but when it comes to food, we have great options. and I love ice cream, even in January- the selection at Associated or Key food is nothing to get excited about.
Ice cream places usually plan their budgets around the fact that sales will slow in the winter. Duh!
As for wouldn’t it be nice all natural, etc. I think people expect this should open their own places instead of complaining.
@superwitty
And you support your local business by buying shoes not laces. How does a business survive on shoelaces?
Why anyone would shop at mcdon or Wendy’s is just…
Butcher block, ottomanellis for a top off is way better
Oh man, that was embarrassing. No math before coffee!
I thought that the sign mentioned frozen yogurt as the main product, and that the 42 referred not to flavors but to the “toppings” you could order. But perhaps I read it wrong.
This store will obviously not last past winter.
SuperWitty has a good point.
I was in the Parrot grocery store and found a lot of great stuff at reasonable prices. They even had a bottle of olive oil cheaper than I found at Associated. Same quality, same size.
We’ve got a great coffee merchant (Baruir’s), homemade bagels, real grocery stores (Parrot), excellent restaurants, a real yogurt shop, and lots of genuine merchants in Sunnyside, but I bet many of the folks around here buy their goods at the supermarket, Rite Aid, and then eat at Wendys or MdDnld’s. These merchants cannot compete with corporate superstores- they need our support. Our hardware stores cannot compete with Home Depot, nor can our stores that sell plants & flowers. We have clothing stores that are under-patronized, too (I’m thinking of that store on Greenpoint near QB. I went in there the other day, looking for shoelaces. It was well-stocked with merchandise but empty of customers. How do they survive?) Unless we want nail salons, cell phone shops and 99-cent stores, local residents need to patronize local merchants, not supermarkets & big box stores.
I’m no Harvard business school graduate, bit I would think it a good idea to sell something else besides ice cream that would be popular during to the winter months to keep the business going.
They can sell ice cream soup in the winter
How will they pay the rent in winter? My guess in January well be seeing the follow up article about the store closing due to the obvious, no one buys ice cream in the winter.
unless this guys banking on global warming to keep em going.
they should watch the Ben and Jerry’s docum on Netlix, they explain how they kept their business afloat in cold Vermont.
4^2 = 4 XOR 2 = 6
4^2 = 16. 4*2 = 8. 8! = 40320. This concludes today’s math lesson.
4^2 = 16
That’s 11 more flavors than Baskin Robbins. Baskin Robbins says they have 31 flavors. Agree with Gesibel on her above comment! We have three Baskin Robbins in the area and a Carvel on 58th Street.
Lets hope one of the flavors has thc in it. They will need it for that high rent.
4^2=8 != 42
it says “42 flavors.” that’s 10 more than baskin robbins. that’s some McDowell’s-level business planning!
wouldn’t it be nice if it was made with all natural ingredients and milk with out antibiotics?
This is great. I’m sure this place will defiantly gain a lot of money as summer approaches.
well it feels like decades since we had carvel
