Open your own Yogurt Factory
Join France's frozen yogurt leader: a profitable, easy-to-run concept, a brand loved by all ages, and a team that supports you every step of the way.
A proven concept
Since 2011, Yogurt Factory has turned a simple idea into an international network, with 23 company-owned stores: we apply to our own stores what we recommend to you.
The market leader
France's no.1 in frozen yogurt, in a steadily growing “lighter indulgence” segment.
Easy to run
No complex kitchen, a small team, well-oiled processes and ready-to-use products.
A menu for every season
Waffles, crêpes, hot drinks, matcha, ube, bubble tea and iced coffees: sales all year round, not just in summer. Plus a loyalty programme that brings customers back.
A highly visible brand
More than 420,000 TikTok followers, an active Instagram community, and a red-and-white identity you spot from afar.
Flexible formats
From a 15 m² kiosk in a shopping centre to a high-street store: we adapt to your location.
Real support
Finding premises, financing, training, opening, follow-up: you're never on your own.
Investment & terms
Reasonable entry terms for a profitable model.
