Franchise

The frozen yogurt industry has seen a huge boom in the past 7 years and it does not seem to be slowing down. In fact, over 90% of American Households say they regularly indulge in a frozen treat. With the promise of low food and labor costs, shops seem to be popping up everywhere. The challenge many shops are currently facing is the lack of being unique and absence of brand awareness. As a result, 9 out of 10 consumers cannot remember the name of more than two frozen yogurt brands.

In 2012, founder Ava Skipworth left a 20 year career to create a company that could stand out, do things differently and enrich her community. From this vision and a lot of hard work emerged Monster Yogurt™ where Scary Tastes Good. Monster Yogurt™ has a bright, fun and playful color palette. There is a “monster cave”, a free, clean play area for the kids and added comfy seating for parents. This area is tucked away, but viewable by large windows, providing a safe place for families, while allowing a quieter kid free zone for those without children. A private party room provides space for birthday parties and other events with larger groups.

Monster Yogurt™ provides free Wi-Fi, so parents and those away from the office can enjoy their treats, but still have the ability to multi-task. The complimentary coffee is tied to a different charity each month. Grab a cup of coffee and if the worthy cause for the month speaks to you; add to the donation slot–where 100 percent of the proceeds go to that charity. Additionally, stores  support various schools and organizations by donating gift cards, yogurt parties and supporting local events. Monster Yogurt™ franchises do give and do a lot! But it has proved a successful business model. When you provide a fresh, delicious product with a large variety of flavors and toppings, a safe and clean play and stay environment for families, perks that add value and comfort to your life (Wi-Fi, coffee)–you are creating repeat customers who will have a generational loyalty.

The success of the first Monster Yogurt™ prompted a second in Richardson, Texas, less than two years after opening the first. With a vibrant orthodox Jewish community in that neighborhood, the Richardson store is certified kosher by a rabbi. A larger play area, party room create and Monster Yogurt™ has put into play an adorable plush costume mascot for promotional events. Desiring to expand this success beyond the local market, Monster Yogurt™ chose franchising as the next step. Through rigorous adherence to the founding cultures, values, practices and procedures as implement by our Monster Yogurt™ franchises, Monster Yogurt™ is poised to do great things.
