Kleinberger, who was the youngest CEO to appear on the show, will now enlist a trusted team member to go undercover at a Menchie’s location. With the assistance of his disguised employee, Kleinberger will checkup on one of his stores to see how they are doing after the past “Undercover Boss” episode which aired several months ago. Together, Kleinberger and his incognito employee will see if the location has kept up with Menchie’s standards by continuing to exude the smiley culture.
“My last experience with ‘Undercover Boss’ changed my life and gave me an even deeper appreciation for all of the team members in our Menchie’s family who work hard to promote our mission of making people smile,” said Amit Kleinberger, CEO of Menchie’s. “This time, while I wasn’t the one wearing the disguise, I still felt touched by what I saw and know that without my team members, who are the heart and soul of the brand, Menchie’s wouldn’t be the same.”

To redeem the free frozen yogurt, guests must present the offer on their phone in-store.

“Undercover Boss” is a two-time Emmy Award-winning reality series in its fifth season that follows high-level corporate executives each week as they leave the comfort of their corner office for an undercover mission to examine the inner workings of their companies. Through the experience of working side-by-side with employees, the executives gain a new perspective of the behind the scenes operations of their organizations, while developing a new appreciation for some of the hardest working individuals that embody their brands.
