Excerpt from an article about a local frozen yogurt shop. May 9, 2011 by Al Harris In about two years, Derek Cha and his wife, Mi Jung Kim, have grown their local frozen yogurt operation from one location to 10 with just as many new outlets planned for the next year. In 2009, the couple opened Sweet Frog, their first self-service frozen yogurt shop, in Short Pump. They have expanded to Chesterfield, Richmond, Charlottesville, Lynchburg and Williamsburg. Over the next year, Cha says, they plan to develop another 10 locations, pushing into Northern Virginia, Virginia Beach and North Carolina. Customers fill a bowl with any number of frozen yogurt flavors and add as many toppings as they like. The cost is 39 cents an ounce.
