PHOTOS: FroYo's First Day in Wayland
Big crowds turned out to welcome Frozen Yogurt Innovations to town.

Wayland residents and both were on hand to refill yogurt machines, wipe up countertops and otherwise oversee the entire first-day operation.

While their parents took care of general oversight, twin siblings Harris and Haley Cohn manned their own FYI stations -- Harris at the cash register and Haley greeting customers with sample cups and instructions.
Meanwhile, Rich Alpert, Susan Cohn's brother and a startup partner of sorts, stood by taking in the experience and helping as needed.
Alpert joked that everyone had to "duck" when the doors to the yogurt shop opened and mobs of customers came pouring in.
Frozen Yogurt Innovations will be open weekdays from 11 a.m.-10 p.m. and weekends from 11 a.m.-11:30 p.m.
