Yogurt, and has since evolved into a national chain, with locations
in California, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey,

Bananas' parent company Villa Enterprises was founded in 1964 by

Theater on Broadway in New York. From that store he expanded his
company to more than 300 locations in 38 U.S. states and six other
countries. Villa Enterprises also has acquired several upscale
full-service restaurants, such as The Black Horse Inn & Pub.
