Once a week, Flavor will feature an establishment deserving of attention for multiple reasons.

THE SPOT:

The Spot: Mango’s Frozen Custard and Smoothie Bar, owned by Ken Straman, located at 890 Pappas Drive.

WHAT’S HOT IN THE STORE?

The Mango’s motto is “Life is Smooth at Mango’s,” and once you step inside, it’ll be all too clear why that is. With its superb location, Huskie Bucks-friendly cash register, laid-back environment, distinctive tropical flair and electric pink exterior, Mango’s is a must-visit.

WHAT’S HOT ON THE MENU?

The snow is gone, temperatures are climbing into the sixties and the grass is once again starting to turn a recognizable shade of green. Is it too good to be true? A stop into Mango’s might be just what you need to fully convince you spring has sprung. Try out a signature fat-free smoothie – with more than 30 flavors to choose from, you’re sure to find exactly what you want. Or maybe an Avalanche (a custard-and-candy concoction of epic proportions) is more your style. Either way, you can’t go wrong. If eating crushed ice and frozen custard in its various, tasty forms just isn’t an option, never fear. Mango’s offers a variety of food, with all fried items cooked in trans-fat-free oil. One popular item is the Buffalo Chicken Wrap, $4.37 with tax.
