Pinkberry Is Opening in Braintree

A national chain of frozen yogurt shops with five locations in the Boston area is getting ready to open a sixth spot, with this one being south of the city.

According to a job post within the Craigslist site, Pinkberry is going to be opening a new shop at the South Shore Plaza in Braintree, joining one other location on the South Shore (in Hingham) and other spots in the Back Bay of Boston (2 locations), Cambridge's Harvard Square, and Wellesley. The post does not specify an exact opening date for the Braintree location, but the chain is currently interviewing for managers, so it may be opening fairly soon.

[January 10, 2012 update: According to the Patriot Ledger, the new Pinkberry at the South Shore Plaza in Braintree is now open for business, and a note from CBH Communications indicates that the new shop will be serving free frozen yogurt from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM tonight.]

Pinkberry features an array of frozen yogurts (including chocolate, pomegranate, and green tea), along with a number of different toppings such as kiwi fruit, raspberries, cheesecake bites, chocolate chips, toasted almonds, peanut butter crunch, caramel, and honey. Also offered are smoothies and fruit parfaits.
