Here’s our tally of froyo openings in 2025 by country. If you like making comparisons, here’s last year’s tally by country. You’ll notice the most growth occurring in Australia, Lebanon, and Venezuela, while there were fewer openings in Argentina, the Philippines, and South Korea.
December was a slower month for froyo openings. We found 52 new businesses serving froyo in 19 countries, far fewer than the 77 new businesses serving froyo in 24 countries we found in November. Australia had the most openings with 16, though most of these weren’t new businesses but a result of Royal Stacks decision […]
We tracked the number of froyo openings by country in 2025, identified the 10 largest froyo chains by location count, found 12 new froyo trucks and trailers that launched this year, and tracked the new froyo flavors of the year.
The headline story: Yoajung in South Korea retained the top spot as the world’s largest froyo chain. Adding 120 locations in 2025, Yoajung currently has 684 locations, mostly in South Korea. Yogen Fruz became the 2nd largest froyo chain in the world, followed by Llaollao.
Collectively, the top 10 froyo chains now operate approximately 2,821 locations, a 24% increase (554 shops) in 2025 compared to 2024. Notably, most of the froyo chains in our top 10 grew this year, something that we haven’t seen happen for many years.
This year, we found 87 new froyo and froyo alternative flavors introduced by froyo shops. Last year, we found 53 new froyo and froyo alternative flavors. While this is quite a jump in new flavors, the increase is mostly due to the addition of MYKA Greek, which introduced two new flavors a month in 2025. Without considering MKYA, we found 63 new froyo and froyo alternative flavors in 2025.
We found twelve new froyo trucks and trailers that launched in 2025, compared to twelve new mobile froyo businesses in 2024 (and 17 in 2023). The US had the most openings with eight in 2025. It also had the most openings in 2024, with seven.
November was a busy month for froyo. We found 77 new businesses serving froyo in 24 countries, compared to 48 new businesses serving froyo in 20 countries in October. The United States had the most openings again, with fourteen, followed by the Philippines with twelve, and Australia with eight. Significant openings include the first Pinkberry in Austria and the first Yogurt World in Japan.
People love creamy, smooth froyo, but adding a hard shell dip or drizzle adds texture, flavor, and visual appeal. Hard shell dips and hard shell drizzles—offer distinct experiences for both operators and customers. Hard Shell Dips vs. Hard Shell Drizzles: What’s the Difference? Both dips and drizzles harden quickly when applied to cold desserts, but […]
Yes, Guam has frozen yogurt. Today, only one frozen yogurt shop remains, Yogurtland in Tamuning. Five other froyo shops have since closed, reflecting the challenges of sustaining niche dessert concepts in a small market. The frozen yogurt shops in Guam have mostly been self-serve, part of an international franchise, and mall-based. The preference has been for US-style frozen yogurt shops. Also, since Guam is a U.S. territory, it is easier for U.S.-based businesses to expand to Guam.
Whether you’re shopping for others or carving out a moment to recharge, Yogurtland is here to add a little joy—and a few extra perks—to your holidays. Enjoy double points on Black Friday and a Cyber Monday gift card deal.
