Time for your froyo history lesson. It’s hard to believe, but Pinkberry’s going to turn 20 years old in 2025. Many froyo shops have opened since Pinkberry started the second wave of froyo. We decided to look at what happened to the first shops of Menchie’s, Pinkberry, Red Mango, Tutti Frutti/Orange Leaf, and Yogurtland. All five of these froyo chains were founded in Southern California in the mid-to-late 2000s. The only “first” shop that’s still open is Menchie’s in Valley Village.
