    McKinney Avenue Drama

    Goodbye, Bellinis? Sfuzzi restaurant in Uptown Dallas closing or moving offMcKinney

    • What will happen to Sfuzzi Uptown's sexy, swanky dining room?

    • Sfuzzi's Bellinis will soon be history on McKinney.
      Reese Lloyd

    UPDATE: We spoke to manager Brandon Hays and the original story has been updated to reflect his comments.

    ---

    If you live in Uptown and you want your frozen Bellini, you're destined for disappointment. Sfuzzi, the restaurant known for that sweet peach-flavored slush, is on the move.

    Owner Robert Colombo was unavailable for comment. A staffer at the Las Colinas location confirmed that its sibling branch was closing before quickly ending the phone call.

    But manager Brandon Hays said that the Las Colinas Sfuzzi is a franchise and not a reliable source, and that a closure wasn't necessarily the resolution of the restaurant's current problems.

    "That's wrong that we're closed," he said. "I was there last night. It's possibly more of a January thing, or we might be moving, not closing."

    Colombo re-booted the chain in 2010 on McKinney Avenue, across the street from where the original was located back in the late '80s. The thin-crust pizza and house-made pasta didn't win any best-of awards, but the restaurant has a busy patio and late-night scene.

    On December 17, staffers for La Reve Consultants, Colombo's management company that also owns the Standard Pour lounge andVilla-O restaurant in Travis Walk, were still touting Sfuzzi's "Red Monday" event and inviting "unescorted ladies" to enjoy a complimentary three-course meal. (Standard Pour is owned by R&R Capital and is independent of La Reve.)

    They also have plans for the holidays: On December 11, they created a New Year's Eve event page on Facebook.

    Colombo has weathered other shut-downs, including the 2011 closure of Trece, the upscale Mexican restaurant in Knox-Henderson, which he opened with partner Bill Solomon and pro-golfer investor Tommy Armour III.

    In 2012, Armour issued a disgruntled tweet about Sfuzzi, saying, "It's stupid to have 25 year anniversary parties when you haven't been open for 25 years!!! Sfuzzi!!!!!"

    Healthy dual restaurant serving smoothies and froyo to open in Prosper

    Smoothies and frozen yogurt are coming to Prosper with two restaurants in one: Smoothie Factory + Kitchen and co-branded Red Mango will open at 1470 W. Frontier Pkwy. #102, on May 17.

    On the Smoothie Kitchen side, they'll serve smoothies, juices, fruit power bowls, toasts, and grilled sandwich folds.

    On the Red Mango side, they'll serve frozen yogurt with a self-serve model featuring four flavors, two additional swirl combinations, and 13 toppings.

    Smoothie Factory was founded in the 1980s; Red Mango was founded in Dallas in 2007 had has 60 locations in the U.S. and internationally. The concepts are siblings — both part of the franchise portfolio of Dallas-based franchising company Brix Holdings, LLC.

    Bringing the concept to Prosper are franchisees Lanford and Chianna Rodgers. Lanford is a former Illinois state trooper and independent insurance business owner, and Chiana is a financial advisor.

    Together, they’re looking to offer a healthy and welcoming experience to a growing city.

    “My professional career has changed over the years, but the one thing that unifies my experience is my purpose to help, support and build a community with new people,” says Chianna. “As I begin my journey as a small business owner and we open our doors to the Prosper community, I’m dedicated to leading a team that feels supported and is passionate about serving high-quality products and creating an unforgettable customer experience.”

    Customers who show up on opening day can expect promotions, giveaways, prizes, and activities.

    ”The opening of the new Smoothie Factory + Kitchen and Red Mango location is one of many of our continuous efforts to provide better-for-you options to our guests by increasing access to healthy and delicious options in our communities,” says BRIX Holdings CEO Sherif Mityas in a statement. “Lanford is a passionate and dedicated owner with a team ready to make a positive impact and change the lives of their guests with fresh food, quality service, and a seamless customer experience. I’m confident that this location will be a Prosper neighborhood staple.”
