The Story of Yogurtland
Yogurtland was started in February 2006 by its founder, Phillip Chang. The very first store opened in Fullerton, California. It quickly became a leader in self-serve frozen yogurt in the U.S.
One of the first things that made Yogurtland special was adding fresh fruit to its toppings bar. The company grew by franchising, which means other people can open their own Yogurtland stores. This helped it expand to countries all over the world.
Growing Around the World
Yogurtland began opening stores in new places. In 2014, the first store in the Middle East opened in Dubai. Later, stores opened in Oman in 2018 and Indonesia in 2019.
Fun and New Ideas
Over the years, Yogurtland has had fun partnerships. In 2016, it teamed up with the movie Kung Fu Panda and the game Candy Crush. They gave out special collectible spoons and created new yogurt flavors to match.
In 2020, Yogurtland started a new kind of restaurant called Holsom by Yogurtland in Huntington Beach, California. This cafe serves healthy meals like grain bowls and gourmet toasts, along with Yogurtland's famous frozen yogurt.
The company also keeps up with new food trends. In 2021, it introduced its first-ever flavor made with oat milk, a plant-based cinnamon oatmeal cookie flavor. That same year, they also added fruit and acai bowls to their menu for the summer.
Modern Updates
In 2021, Yogurtland updated its rewards program and mobile app. This made it easier for customers to order online for pickup or delivery. The new rewards program lets members earn points for every dollar they spend, which they can use to get free treats.
Create Your Own Treat
When you visit a Yogurtland, you can choose from up to 16 different flavors. A special team called "Flavorologists" creates these flavors. They have made over 200 unique flavors, like Rocket Pop Sorbet and Salted Caramel Pecan.
You get to pull the handles on the machines to fill your cup with as many flavors as you want.
Toppings and Special Diets
After you choose your yogurt, you can visit the toppings bar. There are about 30 different toppings to choose from! You can add fresh fruits, chocolate bits, gummies, cookies, nuts, and different kinds of syrup.
Yogurtland also has options for people with different dietary needs. You can find flavors that are dairy-free, sugar-free, non-fat, gluten-free, and vegan. You pay for your creation based on its weight, so you can get as little or as much as you like.
