New Product Development at Red Mango

Summary:
Founded in 2007 by Dan Kim, Red Mango originally sold only frozen yogurt at its first shop in Los Angeles; however, success resulted in rapid expansion, in terms of both locations and product offerings. Red Mango has developed many successful new products, including parfaits, fruit smoothies, hot chocolate, and, more recently, blended iced coffee. The video describes the new product development process used by Red Mango to launch its blended iced coffee drink.
