It’s time to shine and swirl at Pinkberry



On your mark, get set, swirl!  Pinkberry officially opens in Buckhead tomorrow at 3637 Peachtree Road, NE.  The newest location (the third in Georgia) is in the shopping center just north of the two-story Target and diagonally from Phipps Plaza.  Rather than spin on and on about the all-natural, tart and sweet, creamy dreamy fro-yo, we recommend you stop by this Friday. 

You can also join us tonight from 6 - 10 p.m. for the Grand Opening party to enjoy free servings of the soft and swirly frozen yogurt!  

For directions, up-to-the-minute news and discounts, become a Pinkberry Groupie or check in on Facebook and Twitter (@pinkberry).  The store will be open Sunday through Thursday 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. to 12 a.m.

Uncle Julio's is the Place to Celebrate National Tequila Day on July 24

This Friday, July 24, is National Tequila Day, and Uncle Julio's Casa Grande serves up 15 types of tequila and several different margaritas to help you celebrate. Among the restaurant's 14 locations nationwide, about 200,000 margaritas and tequila drinks are prepared each month. While purists can head for the straight tequilas, those fond of frozen varieties will want to try the signature Swirl (classic frozen margarita layered with homemade frozen sangria); the Baja Gold (margarita and Corona) or other classics such as the strawberry or passion fruit margaritas.

Uncle Julio’s managers attend tequila training in Mexico each fall, bringing home novel tequila ideas such as using it as a marinade in Uncle Julio’s chipotle borracho shrimp. Click here for the full recipe if you are celebrating at home.
