Why Choose Yogurtland?
Yogurtland stores tend to be relatively easy to operate. The self-serve concept remains at the core of Yogurtland, allowing it to keep costs down and thus provide high-quality product at lower prices than major competitors. Yogurtland also serves ice cream and shakes. Franchisees do not have to invest in extensive cooking equipment and can also keep labor costs down. Yogurtland products are not sold in grocery shops or venues other than Yogurtland stores.
The variety of the flavor selection and the buffet-style service make Yogurtland attractive to customers. The company's product appeals to health-conscious consumers who want a delicious treat. Yogurtland provides low-fat, fat-free, gluten-free, dairy-free and low-sugar options. Frozen yogurt products include live cultures and flavoring is sourced from authentic, fresh ingredients.
The company encourages franchisees to open several units. It also provides training before opening, post-opening support and participation in advertising campaigns. Yogurtland also emphasizes community outreach; its non-profit organization, Yogurtland Cares, partners with a variety of charitable organizations.

History
Phillip Chang opened the first Yogurtland location in 2006 in Fullerton, CA. By 2014, Yogurtland had over 300 locations in the United States and worldwide. Today, the franchise continues to grow at a steady pace and is seeking multi-unit development in the United States as well as the emerging markets in the Middle East.
From the time of its opening, Yogurtland has focused on providing a variety of flavors and toppings. The company regularly introduces new flavors, seasonal flavors and limited-edition flavors. While the selection may vary depending on location, a Yogurtland store typically has at least 16 flavors and at least 30 kinds of toppings. Yogurtland has also partnered with companies such as Sanrio to produce branded merchandise.
In 2017, Yogurtland introduced soft-serve ice cream as it saw an emerging market for that product in addition to frozen yogurt. As with the frozen yogurt, customers use the buffet system to select toppings.
Today, customers can search flavors on Yogurtland's website. Search options allow one to specify the type of flavor and to exclude items such as soy and nuts.
Ideal Candidate
Prospective franchisees can expect to invest a total of about $350,000 - $400,000.

At this time, Yogurtland prefers franchisees who are willing to open several locations.
