Yoga-urt Celebrates Ten Years of Offering LA’s First and Best Organic, Plant-Based Soft Serve

Yoga-urt, the first and best all organic, plant-based soft serve company, is celebrating ten years this July. Founded by an amazing and passionate female entrepreneur, Melissa Schulman, Yoga-urt has been the froyo shop of our dreams since day one. The soft serve (yes, it has probiotics, so we’re calling it froyo) is hand-crafted in small batches with love and hand-squeezed almond and cashew milk.

June Froyo Openings and Closings

Froyo activity was even hotter in June than in May. We found 60 new businesses serving froyo (including froyo shops and businesses that serve froyo but are not primarily froyo shops) in 25 countries, compared to 57 new businesses in 22 countries serving froyo in May.

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 Gives Back, 2025 Edition

May Froyo Openings and Closings

Froyo activity picked up in May, after slowing down in April. We found 58 new businesses in 22 countries serving froyo in May, compared to 45 new froyo businesses in 22 countries in April. The Philippines had the most openings again, with ten, followed by the United States with eight, and Australia with six.
