It’s some sweet relief on a hot summer day with a world of toppings to choose from.
It's the FroYo Factory in White Hall.
Marion County's newest spot to get a break from the heat opened on June 19th.
Zach Nelson is the owner.
The company behind FroYo Factory is based in Cumberland Maryland and also has a game store.
Nelson worked at the game store there. A frozen yogurt place was next door.
"On my breaks every day I would go over and get frozen yogurt," Nelson said. "I just saw how much people liked it and I liked it, too. I just saw that there were always people flowing in and out."
His girlfriend Emily is a student at Fairmont State and helps him run the FroYo Factory. He first saw the need for a game store in Fairmont. After seeing its success, he approached the owners about opening a FroYo Factory.
"They ended up, just because it's far from where they lived, they said, 'Would you be interested in being the owner?'"
The company gave a loan to Nelson, just 23 years old, to open and operate Marion County's newest sweet spot.
