"Yopop Frozen Yogurt :: The best self serve frozen yogurt"
This place in Chapel Hill sure seems to be super-crowded whenever we drive by....
Lowes Foods
I wonder how one can convince the people who help bag food at Lowes to use fewer plastic bags if you go in without enough of your own to hold your order as I did yesterday. I wound up with a 5 or so that may get used again at home and then recycled. Seems like a needless waste.
By the way, I love the nutrition number Lowes puts on products now. Next - I want to understand how they were calculated!
