1st Pinkberry in Cameroon
It’s the time of year that froyo business slows down in North America and Europe due to colder temperatures. Not surprisingly, we found fewer froyo shop openings, 50, in October compared to 57 froyo shop openings in September. The openings occurred in 17 countries, with the Philippines leading the way, as they did in September. There were 12 froyo shop openings in the Philippines in October. Malaysia had the second-highest number of openings with six.
Llaollao, the largest froyo chain in Europe and Asia, opened eight branches in October. Greenfrost opened four shops in Ecuador and Myfroyoland opened four in India. Pinkberry opened its first shop in Cameroon.
Sadly, we also found eight froyo shop closings, including one shop that first opened in 1990.
Openings and closings are listed in alphabetical order by shop name.
