TCBY customers now have strawberry slices and sprinkles at their fingertips.
The Create & Enjoy bar, a self-serve toppings system, is exclusive to The Gator Nation, according to manager Travis Clements.
The store, located at 1600 SW Archer Road, began implementing the bar at the start of the semester to compete with competitors such as Mochi.
But unlike Mochi’s full self-serve system, TCBY customers don’t dispense their own yogurt. Instead, it is served to them in size-specific amounts before they sprinkle on their own toppings.
“It’s a hybrid-type system that keeps customers from getting too much yogurt in case their eyes are bigger than their stomachs,” Clements said.
Since the new Create & Enjoy bar was added, he has added 10 new toppings, including Twix and a variety of cereals.
To match Mochi’s price, all toppings are 45 cents per ounce.
