Pretty neat, huh?

The convenient timing of all things 11, coupled with a national holiday, presented us with a quirky promotion angle we just couldn’t ignore.

Now, don’t get us wrong. 111 stores is a BIG deal for Orange Leaf. But we wanted to do more with this opportunity than just celebrate our success – we wanted to say “thanks.”

So, we decided to team up with AMillionThanks.org, a nonprofit whose sole mission is to send letters of thanks to both active and veteran American soldiers.

Even we were surprised by the response from customers, franchisees and their employees. Our very own CEO Reese Travis grew up in a military family, experiencing firsthand the sacrifice and dedication necessary for serving the United States.

From Nov. 1 through Nov. 11, “Thank Tank” stations were available at every Orange  Leaf  location for people to come in and write encouraging words  to the  men and  women who  have so bravely served our country. Many  people shared  their personal  ties to the armed  forces on our Facebook  page, encouraging  everyone from  elementary school children to  veterans themselves to participate.

Rallying our communities through this campaign was a great way for all of  us at Orange Leaf  to fulfill our mission of promoting family and  community.  After all, we  are  America’s Frozen  Yogurt™.

We thank everyone who participated in the “Thanks A Million!” campaign,  but most  of all,  we  thank our troops for the many sacrifices they have  made  to keep  us safe  and free.

Didn’t make it into the store? No problem!  Just visit AMillionThanks.org and write your letter today.
