Swizzles Frozen Yogurt Coming to Vinnin

The self-serve shop will rotate 25 flavors at a store next to Petco.

  Adam Kessner liked a neighborhood frozen yogurt shop so much that he opened his own shop — with a twist — it was self-serve. Then he opened another Swizzles. And another. He has four Swizzles frozen yogurt shops in New England and plans to add to the mix with a Swampscott store next to Petco at Vinnin Square.  He has signed a lease on the building and hopes to open June 1, though he still needs to submit plans to the town. He plans to do so early in March. Swizzles customers choose from a rotating selection of frozen yogurt flavors, then add their own toppings. "We put it in the customers' hands," he said in an interview Friday. They pay by the ounce, 59-cents per ounce. The cup sizes are 12-ounces and 16-ounces. The customer pulls the …
