Press Room →Froyo in Panama: History, Trends, & Shops
We found fifteen current froyo shops. Yogen Fruz is the leading froyo brand in Panama. It currently has twelve locations with another set to open in May 2025. These branches all opened in 2022 or later. We believe that there were older Yogen Fruz branches in Panama, with the earliest one opening in 2009, but that these have closed. Yogen Fruz branches are counter-serve, and most are open inside shopping malls.

Froyo in New Zealand: History, Trends, & Shops
The battle for NZ froyo dominance started in 2013, when KiwiYo decided to franchise and Yoghurt Story came onto the scene. The two quickly became the largest froyo franchises in New Zealand. KiwiYo expanded to China. Both KiwiYo and Yoghurt Story were influenced by the self-serve froyo trend that had emerged in the United States. Yoghurt Story was liquidated in 2016 after the court ruled that what they called frozen yoghurt did not contain yoghurt. KiwiYo still has two branches, including the original shop in Mission Bay. Many froyo shops, most of them self-serve, opened between 2013 – 2015, but many of these shops did not last long.

Why Frozen Yogurt Brands Love Pop-Up Shops
Pop-up shops have recently become a popular strategy for frozen yogurt brands to create buzz, test markets, and engage with customers in unique ways. These temporary stores are thriving, offering brands a chance to showcase their products in high-traffic areas and adapt to local tastes. Brands are using pop-up stores to host events, offer free gifts and coupons, and create Instagrammable moments to boost brand awareness. This approach works particularly well with younger demographics who value novelty and exclusivity.
