MaggieMoo’s Extends Ice Cream Line-Up with Newest Ice Cream Flavor and “Fresh Escape” – Red Velvet Cake ATLANTA, October 3, 2007 -- MaggieMoo’s, the super-premium ice cream brand known for introducing innovative frozen treats, announced today the launch of its newest flavor, Red Velvet Cake, available in Treateries nationwide on Oct. 3. With Red Velvet Cake ice cream as the featured flavor this fall, MaggieMoo’s is the only super-premium ice cream brand to offer this nostalgic, classic cake flavor. “The demand for nostalgic flavors such as Red Velvet Cake is making a comeback across the country,” commented Jenn Johnston, Vice President QSR Brand Marketing for NexCen Franchise Management, parent company of MaggieMoo’s. “With the popularity of our BetterBatter® ice cream flavor as a best-seller, we wanted to continue meeting consumer demand by providing another innovative cake flavor for the fall. We carefully developed the recipe to achieve the perfect taste and mahogany color that makes red velvet so unique – it’s a familiar, sweet flavor that parents and children will love.” The new Red Velvet Cake flavor was first tested in several franchise locations and received such a positive response that MaggieMoo’s will roll-out the new flavor in each of its 200 locations. The Red Velvet Cake flavored ice cream is also available as a Red Velvet Cake “Fresh Escape,” a unique creation with super-premium ice cream and fresh mix-ins. The Red Velvet Cake “Fresh Escape” is a hand-mixed combination of fudge, brownies, and pecans – all of which are ingredients akin to traditional red velvet cake. Additional flavor offerings this season will include MaggieMoo’s holiday favorites, such as Egg Nog and Pink Peppermint Stick ice cream.
