Show Yogurt Parlor to open with new management American Fork's Yogurt Parlor will reopen its doors Monday, Oct. 13, under new ownership. It is located at 66 W. Main. Three American Fork couples, Garth and LaDean Nelson, Evan and Betty Brady, and Steve and Marilyn Bailey have purchased the business and plan a grand opening celebration starting Oct. 22. "We've always wanted to purchase pur-chase the Yogurt Parlor," said LaDean Nelson. "We have always liked the product." Mrs. Nelson will oversee advertising for the firm. Garth Nelson is president, Evan Brady will serve as operations manager, Betty Brady will be bookkeeper, Steve Bailey is purchasing pur-chasing agent and Marilyn Bailey is secretary. The new owners are redecorating and adding tables. They will specialize in frozen yogurt with four rotating flavors. As soon as possible, they plan to add two more flavors. The menu also includes soft drinks and shaved ice with dozens of rotating flavors. The yogurt will be available with fructose, honey or regular sugar sweetening. Future plans include a light lunch menu, primarily for local business people. They are open to suggestions from the public on the menu or other items. Evan Brady, retired from U.S. Steel Corp., and his wife, Betty Brady, chairman of the Utah Pageant of the Arts Board, are currently in New York and looking for ideas by frequenting shops there. Steve Bailey serves as American Fork City Recreation Director. He and his wife Marilyn have seven children. Garth Nelson has a general dental practice in Provo. He and his wife LaDean reside in American Fork and have three children, one of whom will work in the shop. The couples have defined their business objective as "Making people happy and helping them enjoy the products we offer," said Nelson. The Yogurt Parlor will be open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. |
