“If Your Flavor Dreams Came True” Contest Winner Announced

LOS ANGELES - April 29, 2015 - PRLog -- What is your dream frozen yogurt flavor? Nanci’s Frozen Yogurt, a leading manufacturer and international wholesaler of soft serve mixes, and the International Frozen Yogurt Association (IFYA) invited frozen yogurt shops to submit their dream frozen yogurt flavors for a chance to win 3 cases of Nanci’s Frozen Yogurt Mix (with a retail value of $2,430). The contest ran from March 30, 2015 to April 22, 2015.

The grand prize winner was Flip Flop Yogurt Shoppe of Crystal River, Florida. Flip Flop Yogurt Shoppe is independently owned and recently celebrated its first anniversary. Owner Lindsey Hodgkins submitted her dream flavor, Cannoli.

“When the contest came about I wanted to think of something so unique, but not so different that people had never heard of it. My family is Italian and I grew up having cannolis as a special treat. Being pregnant for my third baby I have quite the sweet tooth and I have taken a liking to cannolis again. So I thought how delicious would cannoli cream flavored yogurt be, inside one of our fresh waffle cones, topped with chocolate chips? That's exactly how it came about,” said contest winner Lindsey Hodgkins.

“Congratulations to the lucky winner, Flip Flop Yogurt Shoppe, and thanks to everyone who entered the contest and to the contest sponsor, Nanci’s Frozen Yogurt,” said IFYA President, Susan Linton. “We are thrilled to offer frozen yogurt contests for IFYA members with prizes that help save our money and provide exposure for the leading brands in the frozen yogurt industry. This contest was inspired by the over 100 frozen yogurt flavors that Nanci’s provides. We are proud to work with Nanci’s, a company known for its healthy, innovative, superior frozen yogurt.”

“One of the things that makes Nanci’s different from other frozen yogurt mix suppliers is our huge variety of flavors. With the Dream Flavor Contest we are excited to see what flavors the market is requesting but can’t find,” said Johny Wudel, Vice President of Nanci’s Frozen Yogurt. “IFYA has been a great partner in promoting frozen yogurt and expanding the market. Working with the IFYA we are able to offer promotions and contests like this one that create value for customers.”
