Froyo in Bolivia: History, Trends, and Shops
Bolivia hasn’t had many froyo shops but Yogen Fruz did enter the market early and is still the largest player. Yogen Fruz, the Canadian franchise, has 16 branches in Bolivia. It looks like the few froyo shops that opened in Bolivia have closed, except for Llaollao, Yogen Fruz, Yogurteria, and Freschezza. Most of the froyo shops were in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, local concepts, and counter-serve. We believe that there are currently 18 froyo shops in Bolivia.
