Pinkberry - how long has this been closed? Will it ever reopen?

[ron_newman]

Pinkberry is closed with a sign in the window about "flood damage". According to this thread, it's been closed for at least two weeks -- maybe longer.

Does anyone know when it closed, and if they really have any plan to reopen?

(I've long thought that Pinkberry would be the ultimate loser in the local froyo wars, since it was the last to open and has by far the least attractive storefront.)

Good to hear that work is going on. Do you recall which storm caused the damage?

IIRC it closed around the end of July. I had assumed it was related to those heavy rains / flash flooding that we got on July 28th, though I don't know that for sure.

I agree with splatterhouse, I hope it reopens too. I usually go for tart froyo and IMHO their tart froyo has the smoothest texture and best flavor.

the quality of the other two are awful imo.

Which explains why, on almost any given evening this summer, JP Licks, iYo and Orange Leaf would be doing good business while Pinkberry would be lit up bright yet empty, all Kubrick-like. And in such a good spot for foot traffic, too.

(Okay, Orange Leaf gets the short end of the spoon here considering its plaza closes earlier, but I never saw more than two customers in that Pinkberry at any given time.)

For what it's worth, I've had excellent froyo and terrific service at iYo. I hear their new sandwiches are great.

Not being a fan of froyo, i do enjoy the coffeeshop side of things at iYo and enjoy the sandwiches and coffee when I'm just don't find the industrial atmosphere of diesel relaxing enough.

Today, the "closed due to flood damage" sign is gone, but the store is still very closed and dark.

Wow, I assumed flood damage was a euphemism.

I know people who live next door, they reported major building flooding that day.
