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.
We tracked 68 new businesses serving frozen yogurt across 25 countries, matching March’s 65 openings in 24 countries. The United States has the most openings with fifteen, followed by Indonesia with six, and Mexico with five. Four of the 66 new businesses were existing businesses that started offering soft serve froyo. Notably, three additional Van Leeuwen scoop shops started offering froyo.
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.
The ten creative froyo toppings represented seven countries, with the Philippines, United States, and Australia with two a piece. Six of the ten toppings come from Asia, and five were inspired by local tastes. Five were sauces or drizzles and four were baked goods.
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. It’s traditionally the slowest time of year for froyo, though. The most openings occurred in the United States with nine, followed by the Philippines with seven; the two countries are usually the leaders in froyo shop openings.
December was a slower month for froyo openings. We found 52 new businesses serving froyo in 19 countries, far fewer than the 77 new businesses serving froyo in 24 countries we found in November. Australia had the most openings with 16, though most of these weren’t new businesses but a result of Royal Stacks decision […]
We found 47 new businesses serving froyo in 20 countries in October, compared to 54 new froyo businesses in 25 countries in September. The United States had the most openings, with nine, followed by Australia with six, and the Philippines with five.
In August, we found 68 new businesses serving froyo in 27 countries, compared to 59 new businesses in 28 countries that serve froyo in July. The United States had the most openings for the third consecutive month, with twelve, followed by Indonesia with nine, and a tie between the Philippines and Australia, with six apiece.
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.
In December 2024, we found 53 new businesses serving froyo representing 24 countries. This was very similar to November 2024, when we found 52 new froyo businesses in 22 countries. The most openings occurred in Australia, with eleven, which isn’t surprising considering that the Australian summer runs from December to February. Indonesia had the second most openings, with six, followed by the Philippines with five.
