Geaux Freaux Yeaux: 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!
