Two Frios Franchisees Achieve Expansion in New Markets Within First Year of Ownership

Mobile, Alabama - Frios Gourmet Pops proudly announces the expansion of two of its franchise owners within their inaugural year. Nate and Rachael Blankenship are set to introduce their fourth Frios location in the vibrant city of Columbus and its neighboring areas. Simultaneously, Brandie Hughes is broadening her entrepreneurial horizons into Gilbert, AZ, with the inauguration of her second Frios territory.

Having joined the Frios family less than a year ago, Nate and Rachael Blankenship have established a significant footprint in the Ohio gourmet pops market. Their latest venture into Columbus is a powerful display of their dedication within the Frios brand. Nate Blankenship shared his excitement, "Our journey with Frios has been incredible and fun for our entire family. We're thrilled to embark on this new chapter in Columbus, marking our fourth expansion within just a year."

Brandie Hughes, initially a Frios investor in the Denver area, celebrates her first six months in business with the brand by venturing into a new territory in Gilbert, AZ. This expansion is particularly noteworthy as it will be spearheaded by her daughter, Samantha Bergant, infusing a fresh, family-driven energy into the operation. Brandie Hughes remarked, "I’m excited to bring my daughter along on my Frios journey. Launching in Gilbert signifies our deep faith in the brand's potential and our commitment to its growth."
