We look forward to growing with more stores, continually improving customer service and taking care of the communities in which we operate.”
Yogurtland’s Dairy Makes The Difference
As the frontrunner in the recent frozen yogurt industry surge, Yogurtland is one of the nation’s first and most popular self-serve frozen yogurt brands. The company has transformed the industry by reshaping a popular trend into a growing business by redefining the dessert experience and delivering ultimate customer control.
Yogurtland is the only frozen yogurt purveyor to operate its own dairy, allowing the brand to develop unique and exotic flavors and control the quality control to the company’s high standards.
At its stores, Yogurtland offers an extensive variety of frozen yogurt and sorbet flavors daily and a colorful appealing topping bar filled with healthful and indulgent options. Paying by the ounce, guests can choose among 16 different yogurt flavors and more than 60 fruit and premium toppings to create their own delicious frozen treat and top it off their way.
Further separating Yogurtland from competitors is the company’s team of flavorologists, who develop the proprietary recipes for the brand’s more than 100 different and customized flavors. Whether traditional or exotic, each flavor uses real ingredients sourced from their original locations. By controlling the entire frozen yogurt making process, Yogurtland has raised the standards for flavors and quality to new heights and much to the delight of millions of fans.
Naturally occurring calcium makes Yogurtland yogurt a healthful, refreshing treat. Fruit flavors are also fortified with Vitamin C. All of Yogurtland’s flavors meet the National Yogurt Association Criteria for “live and active culture frozen yogurt” and are produced in a kosher-certified facility. Yogurtland features non- and low-fat yogurt flavors as well as non-dairy and no sugar added choices.
Presently there are Yogurtland locations across the U.S., Australia, Guam, Thailand, Venezuela and Dubai. For more information, visit http://www.yogurt-land.com.
