Tuttimelon Valley Fair Grand Opening Coverage

Fro-yo girl here. Tuttimelon Bear and I headed down to Valley Fair early today for the grand opening of the new Tuttimelon flagship location. People were already waiting in line an hour before it opened (the first 50 received exclusive new Tuttimelon t-shirts and a turn at spinning the prize wheel). The Truly Tuttilicious shirts came in white and pink with a flocked Tuttimelon logo (I received a special black t-shirt). The t-shirts were very nice American Apparel tees.



The scene was hectic because the fro-yo machines weren't cooperating but the Taylor technician showed up on his day off and soon the free fro-yo began to flow...for two hours a diverse group of people had the chance to spin the wheel (prizes included gelato, the Sumo bowl, $5 Tuttimelon gift cards) and help themselves to free fro-yo and toppings (as much as they could fit in the small cup). One family won two Sumo bowls. There were some hilarious pictures taken of people with their giant Sumo bowls, overflowing with fro-yo. The first person in line was a guy with long hair. Some people just kept coming back for more fro-yo!



I was lucky enough to help out a bit, making most of the labels for the toppings and chatting with the shop owners and the rest of the Tuttimelon family (including Mr. Tuttimelon, Roy, of course). Their new location has 10 fro-yo flavors a day at 38 cents and a case filled with Tuttimelon gelato and sorbet (including creme brulee, black sesame).

Fro-yo flavors of the day:
* Vanilla
* Chocolate
* Egg nog
* Strawberry tart
* Acai blueberry tart
* Original tart
* Almond tart
* Taro tart
* Pomegranate tart



At 2:15 PM, the prize raffle began. The first person won $20 in TM gift cards. The next prize was $30 in TM gift cards. Next up was a blender of all things. It's good for smoothies I guess. The crowd was excited about the Wii Sport and PS3 (more so than the blender); a guy won the Wii Sport. The grand prize was the Playstation 3.



I love that Tuttimelon has such wonderful tart flavors. Most self-serve shops don't have enough tart flavors and/or their tart flavors are too icy and don't taste like real fro-yo.

Congratulations Tuttimelon and thank you for such a wonderful grand opening event!

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

Tuttimelon Valley Fair Grand Opening Announced Today

Fro-yo girl here. Tuttimelon announced their Valley Fair grand opening celebration today. Yes, it's self-serve again. They're pulling out all the stops for this one, including their spin a wheel, win a prize wheel that was such a hit at the Irving grand opening celebration. The wheel is fun but it slows the line down, a lot. My dream is to see Matt G./ Fro-yo Boy win the Sumo Bowl (last time he won a Tuttimelon gift card).

Be there on 12/19 for FREE fro-yo from 12 - 2 PM, a free Tuttimelon t-shirt for the first 50 guests, prize raffles and the spin the wheel!

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl

Tuttimelon Looking Festive and a Picture of Their Valley Fair Location

Fro-yo girl here. I drove by Tuttimelon Irving the other night and spotted a Christmas tree; what a lovely vision on a cold night. Tuttimelon West Portal has been decked out in snowflakes and holiday lights for a few weeks now (see for yourself).



I also had to see their Westfield Valley Fair location before it opens this month. It's upstairs by Macy's. They aren't listed in the mall directory yet, so it took awhile to find them.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
