The Pasadena Star-News reported on the opening of a new Blizzberry frozen-yogurt stand on Route 66 in Glendora, Calif.
Blizzberry is a regional but rapidly expanding chain in Southern California. Route 66 News is always happy to plug good desserts along the Mother Road, such as Ted Drewes frozen custard to the Midpoint Cafe‘s ugly-crust pies.
However, this new stand in Glendora had something else going for it when it opened Friday:
Mark Wahlberg slowly pulled the lever of a self-serve yogurt machine and filled up a cup of Blizzberry on Friday. He smiled approvingly.
“I’m a big fan,” he said of Blizzberry Yogurt Shop, which celebrated a new store in Glendora.

Another celebrity note: Blizzberry frozen custard is a big favorite with a certain Britney Spears.
