Frozen Yogurt Shop Plans Opening in Glen Ellyn

An Elmhurst couple dreams up sweet, self-serve treats

A new way to treat yourself is coming to Glen Ellyn, just in time for summer.

SkinnySweet Frozen Yogurt, a self-serve dessert shop, will open its doors in Market Plaza on Roosevelt Road between Little Caesars and Panera Bread in July.

Marianne Cielak-Boyke and her husband, Brett Boyke, targeted Glen Ellyn because they thought young families would connect with the health conscious treat that includes low-fat, no sugar added and gluten-free products.

The couple started working on their concept for after visiting Arizona, where they enjoyed frozen, self-serve yougurt with their three kids. Cielak-Boyke enjoyed it so much that she began working on a way to bring a similar concept to the suburbs. 

A year ago, Cielak-Boyke says it was a tough sell convincing landlords to latch on to the conept. Now, Cielak-Boyke says more landlords are open to the concept because they've heard about other ventures.
