Gibson's Frozen Yogurt Shoppe had its official grand opening party Saturday, May 14. You better believe this sweets-lover was there to cheer loudly. An adorable girl in a penguin costume helped folks spin a prize wheel and Stadium High School's jazz band performed. The weather even cooperated so the fro yo could be enjoyed outside as nature intended. 

Auburn resident Chris Visbal was all smiles. "This is awesome. I love the flavors and toppings and I only have to pay for what I want," Visbal exclaims, referring to paying only 43 cents an ounce for yogurt and toppings - a genius pricing set-up. Gibson's serves made-in-the-Northwest frozen yogurt with live and active cultures from YoCream. Of eight flavors, the chocolate, vanilla, sorbet and a sugar-free option are constant. The others rotate weekly. Try açai blueberry, strawberry lemonade, Euro tart (tastes like honey yogurt) and cookies and cream.

The toppings bar is loaded with fresh fruit: chopped kiwi, strawberry, banana, pineapple and mango. It's a kid's (and honest adult's) dream come true. We're talking about mini M&M's and Gummi Bears, Oreo cookie pieces, Reese's peanut butter cups, chopped nuts, candy bars, brownie and cheesecake bites, cinnamon roll chunks, hot fudge, caramel, whip cream, rainbow sprinkles and more. Oh my!
