For five hours on Thursday evening, frozen yogurt represented more than an opportunity for an after-dinner snack.

Orange Leaf opened its doors on Tuesday, March 5.
It might not have been an ideal day for a frozen treat — with snow swirling outside and temps in the 30s — but that didn't stop a steady stream of customers from going to Orange Leaf last Thursday afternoon. The new frozen yogurt shop in Wayland Town Center opened on Tuesday, March 5, and owner Berkeley O'Keefe said a grand opening will likely be held in May, once it's warmer and the business is off to a good start.

Berkeley O'Keefe and his family have toyed with the idea of bringing frozen treats to their area for years. With Wayland Town Center, they're getting their chance.
Berkeley O'Keefe and his family love where they live in Sudbury, near the Wayland town line. Everything they've needed during their eight years in town has been readily available and convenient. Well, almost everything. “We always felt it was lacking in the dessert area," O'Keefe said. His family toyed with the idea of opening an ice cream store, even going so far as to dream up ice cream flavors and create them at home. But a trip to Florida changed the focus a bit. The O'Keefe family was on vacation in the Sunshine State when they stumbled across Orange Leaf, a self-serve frozen yogurt shop.
