Pinkberry might be taking a licking, but it’s not stopping competing fro-yo chains from trying to swipe some of their action in the Valley. Coming soon to the shuttered Oaks Ridge Plaza location of Leaf Organics (who are reopening a Culver City store on July 18th) is Frootsi. Based in Chatsworth, this will be the chain’s second depot selling its boba, avocado frapp, regular, dairy free, and low-fat frozen yogurt, and major menu of cupcakes. And what’s due for Encino?

Coming soon to Encino

That city will soon see an opening of Blizz, which is slightly delayed from a projected June opening, but coming very soon. With stores from Nevada and Sacramento to Glendora and Downey, this will be the sixth store in the midst of a big expansion that will put their frozen yogurt, freshly baked Belgian waffles, shakes, and blended coffees to The Grove in 2011. Check out a full menu for Blizz online.

Blizz, 17145 Ventura Blvd. Encino
Frootsii, 14318 Ventura Blvd. Sherman Oaks. 310-390-6005.
