The last month of 2022 was a busy one for froyo activity. We found 53 froyo shop openings in 22 countries, with the most openings in Malaysia with nine, followed by Indonesia with six. In November 2022, we found 41 froyo shop openings in 18 countries, led by the US with eight.
Yole opened the most new shops, with six, followed by llaollao with five and Sour Sally with four. These new shops were all in Asia.
Sadly, we also found ten froyo shop closings. Four of these shops hope to move to a new location in 2023.
