Local team wins smoothie contest

South Fayette team wins contest for creating gingerbread smoothie

The staff of Tropical Smoothie Café in South Fayette has won a company-wide contest to create their own smoothie.

The winning gingerbread smoothie will be offered at all 1,100 café locations this holiday season, and it is already available in South Fayette.

“I'm very proud of our team and café for coming up with such an awesome holiday-themed treat,” coowner Curt Fignar said. “Perhaps it will become the next pumpkin spice latte.”
