August 23, 2017

Pro Basketball Hall-of-Famer Hakeem Olajuwon is opening a Red Mango Yogurt Cafe Smoothie and Juice Bar Friday. The store, located at 9675 Eagle Dr., in Mont Belvieu, Texas, will be dual-branded with Nestle Toll House Cafe by Chip, offering customers their choice of both nutritious and indulgent treats, according to a company press release.

"I've always been a strong advocate for living a healthy and purposeful life," Olajuwon said in the release. "I chose to open a Red Mango because of its fresh, high-quality and flavorful menu. We have been looking forward to the opening of this location for many months now and are excited to welcome the Mont Belvieu community into the store. In addition, the parent company of Red Mango also owns RedBrick Pizza, Smoothie Factory and Souper Salad, which provides my company access to four quality brands for future expansion."

Olajuwon's location showcases an expanded concept that Red Mango has been rolling out nationwide. The store serves raw, ice-filtered juices and made-to-order cafe meals under 500 calories, as well as frozen yogurt, fresh smoothies and parfaits.

"We couldn't be more excited to have Hakeem be a part of the Red Mango family," said Craig Erlich, president and COO for Brix Holdings, the parent company of Red Mango.
