West Monroe Winner

Erin, Ashlee and Zoe opening WEST MONROE 11/22/11

Our FIRST Customer, Sarah, and her Grandfather!

 Orange Leaf Louisiana "#6" is officially in the books, and we couldn't have ended our 2011 Orange Leaf Louisiana "opening" year with a more perfect store than West Monroe!  Opening on a rainy, Tuesday, November 25th, customers couldn't WAIT until we turned on that OPEN sign!  In fact, we opened at 10:20 (40 minutes early) just to let people get a head start on their Freaux Yeaux fun!  Sarah and her grandfather were our first paying customers of the day, and she got to sign her dollar that will permanently hang on our wall.  Five Guys opened next door the day before, and we finally had to put a sign on our door stating WE OPEN TOMORROW!  They just couldn't wait, and with good reason.  Looking through our glass windows at our colorful walls and fun atmosphere, it's like teasing the Freaux Yeaux lover to open the door and just make sure that we WEREN'T open yet....so, that is why our doors opened a little before our official 11am time.  Even with the rain, the Freaux Yeaux flowed and customers that had been waiting for months, were finally happy that they didn't have to drive across the bridge to Monroe to get their fix. Here is OLYLA's recipe for ORANGE LOVE: Stir vigorously, the perfect Orange Leaf location while adding Yummy, Healthy Freaux Yeaux.  Fold in slowly our FANTASTIC CUSTOMERS and that is ALL SHE WROTE, as they say! ORANGE LOVE is the perfect mix of the perfect ingredients!

Thanks for your well wishes from all of us, here at Orange Leaf Louisiana!  Can't wait for the official GRAND OPENING PARTY!  It's going to be a doozy!

11.11.11

#111 Store in Louisville, KY  "Shovel Chart" 

Veteran's Day was made even more special this year, as it fell on a FRIDAY first off, and the date was 11.11.11.  Orange Leaf celebrated it's 111th store opening on this day as well. Vowing to give away 32,000 ounces of yogurt (roughly $14,000 worth of the good stuff), the #111 Louisville, Kentucky store went big and gave away 22,000 ounces on Veteran's Day.  They finished giving away the last ounce at 7pm yesterday.

  Partnering with AMillionThanks.org, Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt aimed to write a million letters to soldiers serving our country.  Commemorative 11.11.11 T-Shirts were raffled in ALL the 111 stores along with the letter writing campaign.  For writing your letter, Orange Leaf LA gave 10% off coupons. It was a day to remember, never forget, and the numbers won't ever come around again. Pretty special!

BOO Hunt Winners

Halloween came to ORANGE LEAF LA in a big way!  On Saturday the 29th, a BOO HUNT for a $35 gift card was held.  Picture clues to the location of each card in Monroe, New Iberia, and Sulphur were released at NOON and every thirty minutes thereafter, a new picture clue popped up on facebook.  Our winners were so happy to have found the prize! From the ULM Library in Monroe, the Iberia Parish Library in New Iberia, to the Pumpkin Patch in Sulphur, it didn't take our gift card hunters long to catch on to where each was hidden.  It was so much fun we will DEFINITELY do it again.

On Sunday, we played some FUN Halloween games such as Bean Bag Toss, Witch Hat Ring Throw, and Sticky Spiders!  Participants received prizes for playing from Tattoos to Spider Rings.  Everyone had a really great day!

Ready for GAMES in Monroe!

On Halloween we celebrated the biggest discount of all!  If you wore your costume in the store you received 4 ounces off! We had some pretty interesting characters show up for some Freaux Yeaux Halloween Style!   From the Gift Card hunt, to the games, and let's not forget the costume discount, it was a Halloween Weekend we won't soon forget!
