Great to see such local inovation.
Frobot Is The RedBox Of Frozen Yogurt = Summer Treat :)
Frobot, Virginia startup,startup,startup interviewJeremy O’Sullivan and Melissa Nelson are two entrepreneurs in Southern Virginia. Nelson is a self proclaimed (well actually co-founder proclaimed) frozen yogurt fanatic. O’Sullivan is a CPA by trade but decided to jump out of the corporate world and into the startup world when the two of them launched FroBot.
Nowadays there’s a vending machine for everything. If you venture over to Asia there’s a wider variety of vending machines than even here in the states. But go to any major city in the U.S. and most airports and you’ll find a Best Buy in a machine, an Ice Cream machine, crazy new soda machines and even the Dippin Dots machine.
Nelson and O’Sullivan have created a new kind of vending machine called FroBot. FroBot is the smallest single unit frozen yogurt retailer and is as simple (or perhaps simpler) to use than even RedBox.
What about the quality of frozen yogurt in a machine?
Nelson tells nibletz.com: After extensive research we’ve found the best frozen yogurt comes from… freezing real organic yogurt, flavored with organic ingredients…not that cheap frozen chemical water junk that too many shops are serving. We’ll never serve a product that has ingredients using 10+ syllable words only a chemist understands.
Check out the rest of our interview with FroBot below
What is frobot?
frobot is the redbox of frozen yogurt. It’s the smallest frozen yogurt shop on the planet
In layman’s terms, how does it work? (In other words how would you explain it to your grandmother)
It’s an entire frozen yogurt store experience inside a vending machine. Like an ATM, frobot guides the customer through 3 easy steps:
1) Place a cup down on the serving area
2) Select your size and flavor from the touchscreen.
3) Swipe your card and out comes a completely customized frozen yogurt treat in 15 seconds.

Taking jobs from the minimum wage earners (who should be paid more for highly skilled labor like serving yogurt).
