Orland Park’s frozen yogurt scene added another player with the April 26 opening of CherryBerry at 15890 S. LaGrange Road.

The shop’s self-serve style is apparent in its mantra, said general manager Mary Whiteman.

“Swirl it, top it, weigh it and pay it,” she said with a laugh.

“Customers choose from a 16-ounce or 20-ounce cup,” she said. “You decide what you want. You pick out whatever yogurt you want and then your toppings and then we weigh it.”

The cost is then 57 cents per ounce.

“What separates us from most other frozen yogurt shops is that we use real products,” she said. “None of our yogurts are made from mixes or syrups.”

CherryBerry offers 50 different flavors of yogurts with 14 that rotate and 21 more that can be swirled together, she said.

Then there are the 50 toppings.

“I think we have every kind of topping you can imagine,” Whiteman said. “From peanuts to fresh fruit. I also have a cold bar that holds little chocolates that could melt.”

Unless specified, all of the yogurt flavors are gluten-free and peanut free.

“We have non-fat, reduced fat and no sugar added yogurts,” Whiteman said.

“We also have non-dairy sorbets.”

The store has a party room that can used for free for meetings and there are party packages available for birthdays parties and other celebrations.

The store is the first in the south suburbs though the company has other locations are in Plainfield and Bolingbrook.

Store hours are Sunday to Thursday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

CherryBerry joins three frozen yogurt shops that opened in Orland Park last year. TCBY, Red Mango and Trugurt all opened stores on LaGrange Road.
