Pinkberry Vending Machine at the Shops at Santa Anita in Arcadia, CA, Turned Off



Fro-yo girl here. Back in April 2022, iCream installed a Pinkberry vending machine at Westfield Santa Anita in Arcadia, CA. It was in the food court area by Chick-fil-a. I passed by it many times and never saw anyone make a purchase.

The last few times I passed by, it hasn’t been on (the screen is black). At first, I thought it was being repaired, but it’s been off during multiple visits. The site has also been removed from the Pinkberry website, so it must have closed.

The price went up to $6 for a small cup. It started out as $5 for one cup and $0.25 per topping.

I’m not sure how many of the Pinkberry vending machines are still installed and turned on. The iCream website no longer works. The name of the mall changed to The Shops at Santa Anita in late 2022 when ownership changed. There is no frozen yogurt available at the mall at the moment, though you can get plant-based soft serve from Pressed and soft serve ice cream from Cha Redefine.

Now I have to investigate what happened to the other Pinkberry vending machines.

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