Thanks Sheila! Looking forward to any news you may have. I personally would prefer if a different owner operates the Sweet Frog at Towne Square since I have heard that the owner at Towers can be very unpleasant, specially when customers ask to try their flavors. For what I have heard, he only allows customers to try ONE and ONLY ONE FLAVOR. I have been to many Sweet Frogs (Lynchburg, Daleville, Christiansburg amongh others )and they are super friendly and give customers a sample cup so you can try ANY of their flavors. Have you heard anything about that? Any comments? Thanks again!

Hi Mary, I interviewed the owner of Sweet Frog at Towers and he explained that he would be operating the new store at Towne Square. Something must have changed since I last spoke with him. I will see if there has been a change in ownership. Thank you for your comment. – Sheila

I am confused! Your article says that the Sweet Frog that is opening in Townes Square will be operated by the owner of the Sweet Frog at Towers but he has posted several times on Facebook that the new yogurt shop will NOT be operated by them! Did you have your facts wrong?

Gloria.
Never been then and do not plan to ever go. Walked in one time and the place had a smell that made me never want to set foot in again. Wish they were closed instead of Horizons but agree with you they will be next. They should have stayed where they were. Not a good fit for them on the market and this will cost them in the future.

Chris,Thelma’s is not what it used to be,at least IMNSHO.
If it closes it is because they needed to be closed.

Any word on the frozen yogurt place that is supposed to open on Main Street in Salem? It is a Bloop correct? There has been no activity in the proposed location since the previous shop closed.

I thought the Weiner stand was supposed to be re-opened by now.

Hi Kathy, Lindsey Nair wrote about Horizon's closing here on the Fridge Magnet blog.

The weiner stand will be next to the Science Museum, very close to the former location.
