Closed US Airport Froyo Locations

Posted

Yogurtland at Los Angeles International Airport

Last month we published the comprehensive list of froyo shops in US airports. The list of permanently closed places that offered froyo at US airports is longer than the list of 37 places that currently offer airport froyo. We found 52 places that once served airport froyo in the US.

Red Mango had the most closures, with 15, followed by Pinkberry with 12, and Freshens with eight. In terms of airports, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport had the most froyo closures, with eight, but it also has the most froyo shops, with six.

The list is in alphabetical order.
