FROZEN yoghurt eatery Spoon Street has opened a third outlet in Belfast just two years after first setting up in the city.
The new self-serve 'froyo' branch is located on Lisburn Road and has created 13 new jobs.
The shops are run by couple Katie Waddell (24) and her fiancé Harry Wang (31) who brought the concept to the north after seeing it in New Jersey.
Ms Waddell said the latest expansion "marks our commitment to expanding our business offering in Northern Ireland and is reflective of our success".
"This is our biggest opening to date and we have introduced new state-of-the-art technology to elevate our service delivery and ensure our customer experience is first-class," she said.
"We are trying to create a multi-media experience and customers can now expect to find tablet flavour screens, iPad POS systems with customer display units, feature lighting and an area dedicated to screening family-friendly films."
Spoon Street already has outlets in Ballyhackamore and Belfast city centre.
“As we continue to expand the Spoon Street brand, we are also continuing to grow the Spoon Street family. We’re delighted that the anticipation and expected customer-base around opening of our newest store has allowed us to create an additional 13 jobs," added Ms Waddell.
Spoon Street said it affords consumers "complete freedom" in creating their preferred frozen yogurt treat; from self-serving the yogurt itself, to the broad choice of toppings which include mixed fruit, berries and nuts, as well as more indulgent options such as jellies, biscuits and chocolate.
It has sourced weird and wonderful toppings from around the world, such as Japanese Mochi, Taiwanese juice balls and coconut jelly.
