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.
To understand what strong performance looks like, the International Frozen Yogurt Association analyzed leading brands across Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.
