June was another strong month for frozen yogurt. We tracked 98 new froyo shops in 37 countries, compared to 89 new froyo businesses in 30 countries in May. With continued growth in existing businesses adding frozen yogurt to their menus, particularly in the United States, we maintained the new category introduced last month to capture this type of activity.
March was a big month for froyo shop openings. We found 65 new froyo shops in 24 countries in March, compared to 43 new froyo businesses in 16 countries in February. The United States and Australia tied for the most openings with nine each, followed by Indonesia and Colombia with seven each, and the Philippines with six.
Santorini, Sour Sally, and Llaollao had the most openings with four each, while Yo-Chi opened three new outlets in Australia.
And the new year begins with 49 froyo openings in 17 countries in January, even fewer than December’s 52 new froyo businesses in 19 countries.
