Background
Daniel J. Kim (Dan Kim), the company's Founder & Chief Concept Officer, graduated from UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business in 1998, and first worked as an investment banker with Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette. Kim opened the first Red Mango store in Los Angeles near UCLA in July 2007. Red Mango’s combination of healthy yogurt and a hang-out spot proved to be successful, and the company grew to over 150 stores in its first three years of business.
According to the company website, Red Mango gets its name because “the mango, distinctly delicious and high in nutrition, becomes red at its optimal stage of ripeness.”
