SkinnySweet opened it's doors last year and offers self-serve frozen yogurt.
Name: Marianne Cielak Company: SkinnySweet Frozen Yogurt Title: Owner Location: Glen Ellyn Founded: 2012 We were traveling on the west and came across a similar establishment.

There wasn't anything like our concept in Glen Ellyn and …

We are first and 10 into the football season. What would football be without the food? Fun television, but not much of an event.

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.

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 …
