Red Mango, a US-based smoothie and frozen yogurt retailer, is set to open its first store in Uruguay in Montevideo on 19 December 2012.
The launch of Red Mango in South America is part of a five-store deal with Zacoxen, an area developer in Uruguay that operates several Curves fitness franchise locations.
The first of four self-serve stores in Montevideo is slated to open at Local 001.18 de Julio 1902 and Juan Antonio Rodriguez.
Another outlet is planned at the world-famous Punta del Este resort city.
Red Mango president Miguel Foegal said: "We are taking Red Mango to an exciting region that is ripe with opportunity."
Headquartered in Dallas, Red Mango currently operates more than 210 stores in North America.
The company makes smoothies with all-natural nonfat yogurt, fresh fruit and patented probiotics that support immune and digestive health.
