Who screams? We scream! We all scream for ICE CREAM!!

Or Chilled Yogurt… we just honestly couldn’t think of a catch phrase for BC. However, while we’re on the topic of ice cream we’d like to take this opportunity to fill you all in on a very special cause we hold close to our hearts. Imerman Angels has provided Berry Chill with the opportunity to provide yogurts to patients, families, doctors, and nurses monthly, beginning tomorrow! We are thrilled that we have the opportunity to socialize with very special individuals and provide a healthy and tasty treat at the same time!

Sox, Cubs... or is it Cubs, Sox?

We have been at U.S. Cellular Field almost everyday this past week and would just like to thank everyone for being a berry excited and entertaining crowd! For all the devout Chicago baseball fans out there, we are quite familiar with your loyalty to the Sox and the Cubs, respectively. But we were pleasantly surprised by the neutrality of fans when it came to Berry Chill. To all the Sox and Cubs fans out there- way to get your preference for chilled yogurt just right!

Brighten your day!

Bright Pink is one of the many charities that all of us here at BC support with all our might. We stand by the charity’s aims to educate and provide support to women at high risk of breast and ovarian cancer. Our community has an opportunity to join in on the cause today for High Tea at the Drake from 2-4 p.m. We encourage you to come out and support the power of young women! We'll BC'in ya!

Out and about…

Yogi was at U.S. Cellular Park yesterday to watch the Sox play the Dodgers, what a game! As most of you know, Berry Chill is now part of the menu at the club level of the stadium. Being quite the social butterfly that he is, Yogi spotted some baseball fans getting their BC fix on a sizzling hot game day. He mainly ran into Berry Chill first-timers, so we’re glad we could chill them out on the hot summer day that it was!

A little recap

As most of you know, last week we raffled off tickets for our Just for Laughs promotion. Pictured here are Kirby, who won tickets to The Nasty Show, and Joanne, who won tickets to Martin Short. They were among the winners who were chosen by both our in-store raffle, and by Yogi Jones himself who was actively twittering away searching for winners. We hope our winners had an enjoyable experience at the shows, and encourage you all to stay berry chill in this newfound summer heat!

Kirby twittered upon receiving her tickets, "@YogiJones Thanks Berry Chill for the Just For Laughs tickets! And couldn't resist the best mid-day treat with @lauraclemons :)"

And Joanne twittered about her experience, "An absolutely amazing show last night at The Vic. Martin Short still has it! Thanks @YogiJones & Berry Chill!!"

Thanks to all who participated!

What a berry successful night!

Our evening at the Chicago Theatre was a great success! Kanye performed, despite the migraine he was suffering from during the day, and Nick Cannon DJ’d the evening. And of course, Ellen was fantastic and hilarious. Here’s a picture of the BC cart in the theatre.

For those of you who purchased BC at the theatre last night, keep in mind that the proceeds from last nights’ sales are going to Ellen Degeneres' favorite chairty, the Humane Society of the United States!

As we prepare for the evening with Ellen….

The clock is ticking and Ellen Degeneres’ Bigger Longer and Wider Show is approaching! As anyone would expect, all of us here at BC are anticipating an exciting evening of serving at the Chicago Theatre (175 N. State) tonight from 6-7 p.m. We’re hoping that we’ll BC’in the funny lady this evening…Yogi cleaned up well for the evening and he’s hoping to charm Ellen with his stellar good looks. Wish him luck on his Twitter page!

Berry Chill's Debuts New Topping: Watermelon!

Berry Chill is excited to announce the debut of BC's new topping: Watermelon! Available now at all three Berry Chill locations (635 N. State, 132 N. LaSalle, and the Ogilvie Train Station).

Not only great on a hot summer day, this thirst-quencher may also help quench the inflammation that contributes to conditions like asthma, diabetes, colon cancer, and arthritis. Pack with some of the most important antioxidants in nature, watermelon is an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium and magnesium.

Another great perk - watermelon has no cholesterol and virtually no fat! A whole cup of watermelon contains only 48 calories! So don't feel guilty about adding this treat to your Berry Chill...

We'll BC'in ya!
