History

Yogurtland was founded in February 2006 by Phillip Chang, who is also the chain's CEO and president. The first Yogurtland location was in Fullerton, California. In December 2014, there were over 300 locations in the United States, Venezuela, Australia, Guam, UAE, and Thailand. On January 28, 2014, Yogurtland opened its first store in the Middle East at Dubai Mall in Dubai, UAE.

In July 2011, Yogurtland partnered with Sanrio, the company that created Hello Kitty. According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, merchandise such as key chains and T-shirts with Hello Kitty and other Sanrio characters—My Melody, Keroppi, and Chococa—were sold in Yogurtland stores during August. The characters were also imprinted on Yogurtland's collectible cups and biodegradable spoons.

Products

At any time, Yogurtland stores have up to 16 flavors of soft-serve frozen yogurt. Customers may mix and combine flavors in their cups by pulling on spigots that control the yogurt containers. Additionally, 33 toppings, including chocolate bits, Oreo, fresh-cut fruits, nuts, and syrups are available. At any given time, there are many low-fat and non-fat flavors available. Each location tries to offer at least one tart flavor, as well as one dairy-free flavor, which is popular for people who are lactose intolerant. Also, some flavors are even gluten-free. Products are sold for 30-49 cents per ounce. In Hawaii and Alaska, the products are sold at 42 cents and 45 cents per ounce, respectively. Their current slogan, "get real," refers to the real milk and fresh-cut fruit that is used in making the yogurt, and real toppings.
