It’s been hard to miss the remodeling on Bannock street in the former location of Critters.  As interior and exterior work has progressed over the last few months, many people have wondered what in the world is going into the location next to Bamma Wamma’s.  And the answer is…Bamma Wamma’s!  That is, the building next door to one of Malad’s most popular treat destinations has been converted into a Frozen Yogurt shop under the same ownership.  The existing Soda shop will remain in its location, and according to Teresa Daniels, Bamma’s purchases can be made at either location, while frozen yogurt purchases can only be made at the next location due to the fact the they are charged by weight.  

Even though the new building is not completed yet at this point, it is open for business.  The yogurt machines themselves and topping bars are in place.  The cash registers are ready for business.  The staff is ready to serve.  What remains is primarily aesthetic.  Some sound absorption material is planned for the walls, as the yogurt machines are quite loud against the bare walls.  A large menu sign board, art, and other decorations are also planned.  

One thing that will make a big difference is that the location of the drive through has been altered so that it should no longer lead to traffic jutting out into Bannock during the busier times of day, which are…most times of the day on most days!

A grand opening is planned for later in the year after all of the major renovations and improvements have been put in place.  Stay tuned, and we will let you know when to expect it!
