This is a rare opportunity to build a business empire in your country with a national chain of Frozen Yogurt experiences; we say experiences, because that's what our customers are met with when they enter our premises. Grown men and women are turned into children again, as they explore the endless list of flavours to create their own 'Angel Berry' tasting experience......and as far as the children are concerned; well, it's far easier to get them into our Angel Yogurt parlour than it is to get them out! These are just a few comments from our customers: " Went to Angel Berry for the first time. I've just died and gone to heaven!" " I could live in Angel Berry!" " If you've never tried Angel Berry you've never lived!" Angel Berry have brought a new dimension to the Frozen Yogurt market as their ground breaking self service experience puts them in a league of their own.

The pride and satisfaction of watching the growth of Angel Berry as more and more Frozen Yogurt experiences are opened up throughout your country region, will be worth more than money to you; it will give you status, huge respect and the highest self-esteem; and the bi-product of your growth and success of course, should automatically mean considerable financial rewards.
