Forever Yogurt Franchise Cost and Requirements for 2024

Background

About Us

Forever Yogurt first opened in June of 2010, and catapulted instantly to become the leading frozen yogurt provider in Chicago. We are an aggressive company, in touch with the young society, and we possess the social marketing and media demands required to grow in this industry. We will continue with an aggressive national and international expansion plan.

Forever Yogurt is a Self Serve Frozen Yogurt chain that has one of the highest per store sales averages in the industry. Each store is custom designed to best fit the area you'll serve, creating a unique look and feel for each Forever Yogurt a customer visits. Currently the leading frozen yogurt provider in Chicago, we are looking to expand into cities that allow substantial traffic and continuing growth. You'll also be given an option to broaden sales with an additional in-store kiosk, "froth" Espresso & Hot Chocolate Bar, which may be a good expansion option for your store. We're looking forward to hearing from you to begin working together!

The Concept

Forever Yogurt strongly believes that selection and creativity should always be in the hands of our guests. Take a stroll into any of our Forever Yogurt locations and you'll discover more than just a delicious product. You'll feel immersed in the neighborhood, surrounded by wonderful staff eager to make you feel a part of the Forever Yogurt family. We are the charming and stylish retreat where everyone can indulge in a delicious yogurt concoction.

No two Forever Yogurt locations are identical. We strive to embrace the unique personality of each community. For example, before opening our Forever Yogurt location at the iconic Belmont and Clark Street intersection of Wrigleyville Chicago, we worked closely with the Chicago Transit Authority to create a distinctive look for this store. The stunning end result of construction was a store interior that mimicked a classic Chicago subway train.

Every Forever Yogurt location embodies our company ideal - customer satisfaction and experience. Through a combination of imaginative thinking and a simple love for our product, we will continue to provide the finest product for all of our patrons.

Where can I see Forever Yogurt's FDD (Franchise Disclosure Document)?

Buying a Franchise Guide: What is a Franchise Disclosure Document?

When evaluating a franchise opportunity, reading and understanding the current version of their FDD is a necessity. Considering the benefits of franchising, such as established brand recognition and support from the franchisor, it's important to also take into account franchise fees and franchising royalty fees. Since most franchisors are privately owned companies, the current versions of their FDDs are typically not available unless requested directly from them.
