INDUSTRY ANALYSIS SUMMARY: FROZEN YOGURT STORES IN THE US
CURRENT PEFORMANCE 1
Operators in the Frozen Yogurt Stores industry were able to beat the economic freeze and grow strongly over the past
five years, as tart frozen yogurt became one of America’s favorite frozen desserts. The industry has remained resilient
even as other food segments faltered during the recession. IBISWorld estimates that industry revenue will grow at an
impressive average annual rate of 18.2% to $1.9 billion over the five years to 2015. Despite an increasingly saturated
market, the industry is expected to grow 3.9% in 2015, as some frozen yogurt franchises continue their aggressive
expansion plans and others that experience slowing franchise count growth will focus on increasing per establishment
revenue.
MARKET OUTLOOK
As the economy continues to improve, revenue growth for the Frozen Yogurt Stores industry is likely to be robust over the
five years to 2020. Consumer sentiment is forecast to grow, supporting expected industry growth of 5.0% per year on
average to $2.4 billion in 2020.
MARKET TRENDS: CHANGING CONSUMER PREFERENCES
Traditional frozen yogurt, which approximates ice cream in its sweet flavor, competes with tart frozen yogurt, which
tastes more like original cultured yogurt. Over the past five years, tart varieties have fared better than traditional ones.
The tart variety of yogurt, which has a slightly sour taste akin to that of traditional Greek-style yogurts, has been popular
since Pinkberry introduced the flavor in 2005. The increasing popularity of the dessert has enabled the rapid franchise
growth of well-known brands like Yogurtland, Red Mango and Menchie’s, which has made this industry one of the
foodservice sector’s biggest success stories of the past decade.
A HEALTH DRIVEN BOOM
Frozen yogurt is famous for its nutritional quality and has branded itself as ice cream’s leaner and more nutrient-rich
counterpart. Increasingly health-conscious Americans have opted to treat themselves with frozen yogurt rather than ice
cream In 2010, IBISWorld estimates that 1,274 locations existed in the United States; by the end of 2015, this figure is
expected to grow to 2,896, representing an average annual increase of 17.8%. The franchise model that many players in
the industry specialize in is responsible for this rapid expansion, as an army of entrepreneurs seeking a low-cost way into
the industry signed up for franchise agreements.

SEGMENTATION
Self-serve yogurt: The Orange leaf franchise plays in the self-serve yogurt market niche. This market segment accounts to
68.9% of the industry revenue. Self-serve yogurt Unlike full-service stores that require employees to fulfill customers’
orders, self-serve stores give customers complete control over the quantity, flavors and toppings. Self-serve stores typically
have a row of yogurt stations that are preloaded with different flavors; customers then walk through the line and fill their
cups with as many flavors and toppings as they wish. The yogurt is then charged by weight at a price set by individual stores.
Self-serve stores have an advantage over full-service stores in that they can reduce wage costs. Because employees are not
required to take orders, fewer employees are needed per store and less training is involved. In addition, self-serve stores
cater to the rising do-it-yourself (DIY) trend, where consumers customize and personalize their orders. As such, self-serve
stores’ share of industry revenue has increased rapidly over the past five years to be the industry’s main product segment.
TARGET MARKET
Consumers 18 – 24: Consumers who are 18 to 24 make up the largest market segment, accounting for an estimated 24.4%
of the industry’s total sales. Consumers in this group are likely to indulge in sweet treats, leading to higher consumption of
frozen yogurt. Furthermore, a rising DIY trend within this group has boded well for the industry, with the emergence of self-
serve yogurt stores that allow consumers to customize their yogurt selections. This has also led to the high proportion of
purchases from consumers under the age of 18 with similar tastes to the age group directly above them.

MARKET SHARE
Orange Leaf is an Oklahoma City, OK-based frozen yogurt retailer. Established in 2008, the company now has over 300
stores. Orange Leaf has a self-serve format, allowing customers to personalize their frozen yogurt choices. The company
also follows a franchise business model much like the bulk of its competitors. Orange Leaf initially expanded in the Midwest
and South with most stores in Kansas, Texas, Missouri and Oklahoma, but has stayed away from the crowded California
market. The company has also expanded aggressively in the eastern states in recent years. The company also has a
Melbourne, Australia location, which it opened in December 2011. While each store is designed in a similar manner, the
company’s CEO encourages locations to tap into their local communities to make the customer experience unique. For
example, some stores feature murals of local landmarks on the walls to better fit into their communities. In 2014 and 2015,
the company has established partnerships with established consumer candy brands to develop new flavors, such as York
Peppermint Pattie, Ghirardelli Chocolate and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. Financial performance Much of Orange Leaf’s
success can be attributed to its rapid expansion. Since its inception in 2008, the company has opened over 300 stores, with
dozens more in the pipeline. In 2010, the company only had 43 locations. This has contributed to rapid growth of 59.0% per
year on average in the five years to 2015 to an estimated $152.5 million. The partnerships established with major consumer
candy brands have also helped boost sales for the company

BARRIERS TO ENTRY2
The Frozen Yogurt Stores industry has minimal barriers to entry, with low establishment costs and no formidable licensing
requirements. However, industry competition and market awareness can pose as a threat to potential entrants. Operators that plan
to enter this industry are not particularly constrained by the capital investment required to open a frozen yogurt store. Potential
operators seeking entry can lease premises and equipment, furniture and fittings, which lower initial capital costs, outlays and
borrowings considerably. Entry can also occur through signing a franchise agreement, where costs are relatively cheaper than other
food establishments. According to FRANdata, a research firm specializing in franchises, initial capital requirements cost about
$400,000 to open a frozen-dessert franchise.
KEYS TO SUCCESS3
Having a clear market position
Consumers should be able to clearly associate a brand with the product being sold.
Effective cost controls
Cost controls are important in this relatively low margin industry related to food inputs.
Being part of a franchising chain
Being part of a franchise with an established name and system can help operators when entering a competitive sector of
the industry, such as frozen yogurt retailing.
Product is sold at high profile outlets
It is important to have high profile locations for stores, with easy access and parking for customer convenience.
Production of premium goods
High-quality yogurt can demand a price premium, which reflects well in operators’ revenue and profit.
