Our Cups Runneth Over

Given that we find ourselves in a Yogurt Glut of perhaps Biblical proportions, what with the recent opening of Red Mango and Vanilla Sky, perhaps it comes as no surprise that all this yogurt activity is having ripple effects on the shops that originally staked a claim to the yogurt hungry of Forest Hills.

I noticed over the weekend that Oko has put up a sign advertising "New Management."
And Yogo Monster in the Austin Street Mall has also made some changes... 
Yogo Monster has switched to the ever-popular "self-serve" format a la 16 Handles and Red Mango, etc.

One thing 'The Monster' has going for it is outdoor seating.

  3. too many froyo places. they all cant survive. probably oko or monster will close leaving yet another vacant storefront. we need new types of business to open. not duplicates or triplicates of ones we already have!

  4. I wish Austin St. had a good fried chicken place. I don't mean Popeye's or KFC, but one that has quality ingredients, like a version of Bareburger. That would get mobbed if it opened, I bet.
