IFYA created the Swirl of HonorTM quality seal program to recognize frozen yogurt shops around the world for their commitment to frozen yogurt excellence and to provide consumers with an easy way to identify quality frozen yogurt shops.
Swirl of HonorTM shops are evaluated based on four elements: frozen yogurt quality, customer service, store cleanliness and eco-friendliness. We’d like the very best frozen yogurt shops to join the program and to inspire other shops to strive for frozen yogurt excellence.
Be the First Swirl of Honor Shop in Your Area for Free
We’re launching a special promotion to establish Swirl of HonorTM shops across the world. The IFYA will waive the $60 application fee for any shop that is the first to apply for the Swirl of HonorTM program in its “area.” By first in your area, we mean the following:
- United States: Be the first shop to apply in your state
- Canada: Be the first shop to apply in your province or territory
- Outside of the US and Canada: Be the first to apply in your country, when the Swirl of Honor program is available in your country.
The Swirl of HonorTM program is available in two dozen countries. The complete list of countries can be found in the Swirl of Honor program FAQs.
To check to see if you are the first shop to apply in your area, email us at info@internationalfrozenyogurt.com. Once we confirm that you are the first applicant in your area to apply, we’ll send you a promotional code to use. You must contact us first in order to be eligible for the special promotion.
The complimentary membership period is for one year from the date your application is processed and approved.
