Three months after starting a new drinking revolution in Swindon come the rewards.

Mi-Shake, which provides hot and cold milkshakes, opened in Havelock Square in February and the first person to get a loyalty prize was 13-year-old Leaha Micklewright.

Owners Siggy Wilberg and James Swift, who started the business organised a scheme where it was possible to get free milkshakes after collecting a number of stamps.

The winner was Leaha and she also won an iPod.

Siggy and James run six Domino Pizza establishments - three in Swindon and one each in Newbury, Bath and Bristol as well as Mi-Shake.

They are planning a second opening for Mi-Shake in High Wycombe and there are possibilities of UK franchising.

There are literally hundreds of flavoured milkshakes to choose from, from Weetabix through to Millions Bubble Gum or rhubarb and custard.

But, apart from these exotic tastes, there are the more conventional ones - apple, banana, blackcurrant or strawberry. These are made from natural fruit puree.

Advice can be given on special dietary requirements and there are also energy drinks.

"Everything is going well," said Siggy.

"We've had a number of people complimenting us on what we're doing and lots of people come back time and time again."

From their vast menu prices begin at £2.60 and go through to £5.40 for a soya milk special but it would be difficult not to find something to enjoy.

The business uses only Trade Mark products in its milkshakes and all the drinks are prepared at Swindon.
