Beginning July 1, Menchie’s, is becoming “Smenchie’s” in celebration of the July 31 release of The Smurfs 2, the hybrid live-action/animated family comedy from Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation.
“With the introduction of ‘Smenchie’s,’ fans of all ages will be able to enjoy The Smurfs in a whole new way,” says George Leon, executive vice president of worldwide consumer marketing at Sony Pictures Entertainment. “What better way to enjoy your tasty yogurt treat than by adding a dash of Smurfy fun into it?”
Participating “Smenchie’s” nationwide will release an exclusive, limited-edition Smurfberry Blast flavor and special toppings, including chocolate Smurflettes, Smurfberry gummies, and Smurfy sprinkles. The new flavor, the latest addition to Menchie’s proprietary line of classic flavors with a culinary twist, will be available in a special mushroom-capped reusable cup, available for purchase for a limited time only while supplies last.
“Our multi-generational guest base has a great connection with The Smurfs, and the introduction of ‘Smenchie’s’ will be a truly momentous company-wide event,” says Karla Bendel, vice president of marketing and R&D at Menchie’s Group Inc. “In addition to the fun new flavor and toppings, Menchie’s destinations will deliver the ultimate celebration on behalf of The Smurfs with limited edition Smurf-themed items, activities, a video, and more.”
Smurfs fans can engage in the festivities at participating Menchie’s stores nationwide from July 1 to July 31.
