We’ve been dishing out delicious frozen yogurt since 2005. In that time, we’ve made a point to be a family-friendly destination, giving every customer a sweet treat and providing incredible hospitality. Now, as a franchisor, we’re giving more families the opportunity to turn their passion into a life-changing business.

Whether your family is full of kids or just you and your partner, we want you to have the opportunity to achieve your goals, both at home and in your career. So, here are just some of the top reasons that Pinkberry can make an amazing family-friendly franchise.

1. We’re a Brand Built on Values

Pinkberry has always been about more than just selling frozen yogurt – though we are pretty great at that. We’re about creating an experience for our customers, built on humility, hospitality, and uncompromising quality. Our franchise values set us apart in an industry that often leans on self-serve models, and they make us ideal for family-focused franchisees who want more from their franchise system.

2. The Product is Super Fun

You have a family you care about, so you don’t need to spend your days selling something that isn’t bright, cheerful, and totally delicious. As recognizable as we are as a brand, for our crisp colors and distinct design, it’s the sweet, cravable frozen yogurt that makes Pinkberry so memorable.

As a Pinkberry franchisee, you get to run a business that sells a product beloved by every age group and demographic, and that grabs passionate fans everywhere it goes. Plus, and this is the big one, you get to share some delicious Pinkberry with your family. Trust us, they’ll love it.

3. Our Support is Second-to-None

Pinkberry has a family of our own. We’re part of Kahala Brands, a leader in the quick-service restaurant franchise industry and the most supportive parent company we could ask for. When you become a Pinkberry franchisee, you also become part of the Kahala Brands family.

You’ll receive superior training at the Kahala Brands headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona, as well as in-store training at an operating Pinkberry location, to get you ready for your grand opening. You’ll also receive ongoing support throughout the franchise experience. Just like you’re always there for your family, Pinkberry and Kahala are always here for you.

4. It Can Be a Simple Business to Run

Running your own business is never going to be the easiest option, but it can be one of the most rewarding if you choose the right system. When time with family is also a top priority, choosing a system that’s simple to learn and doesn’t require complex recipes can be the right move to help achieve a work/life balance.

Many other quick-service restaurant franchises require advanced cooking skills, preparing a variety of dishes and handling all sorts of food products. Pinkberry is simpler because we offer a clear line of products, with fresh toppings that are easy to prepare, without sacrificing desirability. With our simple model and outstanding training, your Pinkberry location will be swirling up some pomegranate frozen yogurt with fresh mango in no time.

5. We’re Here to Stay

When choosing a family-friendly franchise, you want a company that’s going to last. Pinkberry has built a legacy on our quality products and commitment to hospitality. For someone looking to support their family with their business, that legacy is huge. And with the backing of one of the brightest names in the industry, you can rest assured that Pinkberry is going to be delivering delights for years to come.

We have the fun product, the proven system, and the company backing to help make your Pinkberry the best it can be. We also have the ongoing support to make you feel like family. We know that starting a business, with or without family, is a big decision, and we’re confident in the ability of Pinkberry to make an amazing family-friendly franchise for you.

At Pinkberry®, we feel that your location should be wherever the people are, and wherever they’re going to enjoy a delicious frozen yogurt franchise the most. That’s why we’ve designed our Pinkberry franchise model to fit almost anywhere, letting you bring the tartness to the people.

The Size That’s Right for You

Many factors can contribute to deciding upon the right size for your frozen yogurt franchise. You’ll likely consider the estimated traffic flow of the area as well as the demographics.

If your desired area can accommodate a larger footprint, complete with ample seating and room for a nice, long line, then a larger space may be worthwhile. This will give customers plenty of room to enjoy their treats, chat with friends, and turn your Pinkberry into a chill spot for meeting up and enjoying the day.

There are also many potential benefits to a smaller size. Urban areas where square footage is at a premium can be prime locations for grab-and-go models like Pinkberry. And the lower cost of entry for a smaller shop can be attractive, getting you into your Pinkberry frozen yogurt franchise quicker and easier.

The Perfect Spot

In addition to the physical size of your location, choosing the optimal setting for your frozen yogurt franchise can make a huge difference. Thankfully, the Pinkberry model is perfect for a wide variety of locales.

Some franchisees find it helpful to build a kiosk in an indoor shopping mall. The foot traffic provides a steady stream of customers and the fact that they’re already spending money can encourage them to spend more on a sweet treat. Others prefer business districts or near entertainment venues, places where traditional shops can thrive.

Whether choosing a walk-in shop, kiosk, or another non-traditional model, having the option to tailor the Pinkberry footprint to your chosen area can open up new opportunities for your frozen yogurt franchise.

The Flexible Design

Other models in the quick service restaurant industry, even those that sell frozen yogurt or ice cream, have stern requirements when it comes to the physical space of the establishment. Seating, lighting, counter placement, and more are strictly controlled. Pinkberry takes a more flexible approach.

We can design a Pinkberry frozen yogurt franchise for just about anywhere, in a range of square footages, even working around existing infrastructure. A Pinkberry could fit in a mall kiosk, or a storefront, or in an existing space that has atypical dimensions, all while maintaining the bright atmosphere and pleasing aesthetics that make Pinkberry so recognizable.

That flexibility allows Pinkberry locations to fit not just into unique spaces, but into unique communities by ensuring that the Pinkberry experience isn’t just about delicious, tart frozen yogurt, it’s about friendly customer service in an exciting, modern atmosphere.

The Support of Kahala Brands

While the ultimate choice of real estate lies with the franchisee, Pinkberry, and our parent company Kahala Brands, provide extensive support throughout the process. We’re there with you as you choose your location and as you build out your very own frozen yogurt franchise.

Our process is streamlined to provide design and construction operations support so that your new Pinkberry will be seamlessly set into your location like it was meant to be there. We’ll help ensure that you gain the sleek Pinkberry aesthetic so you can deliver the signature Pinkberry customer service experience.

As you search for the ideal location for your Pinkberry, keep that flexibility in mind. You may have found a great spot that other franchise models couldn’t make work. With Pinkberry, you can turn nearly any space into a functioning frozen yogurt franchise.

At Pinkberry®, we pride ourselves on providing outstanding support to each of our franchisees, at every step of franchise development. We do that because we’ve built our brand on delivering a great product with amazing customer service. What better way to ensure our franchisees provide the best experience to customers than by providing the best experience to our franchisees?

To show you how we do that, let’s look at the support provided by Pinkberry and our parent company, Kahala Brands, throughout the franchise process:

As Soon as You’re Awarded Your Franchise

From the moment you become a Pinkberry franchisee, you’re immersed in the Pinkberry brand and how we deliver on our core values. Our training includes five days at the Kahala Brands headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona, as well as 80 hours of in-store instruction where you learn to manage a location and inspire your crew. And you’ll probably get to sample some flavors while you’re there.

In addition to that training, we provide support for location scouting, design, and construction to take your franchise from concept to fully operational shop. We also help train your incoming staff so you’re ready for your first day.

Once You’re Open

By the time your first customer is happily snacking on their pomegranate with gummy bears, you’ll be prepared for every part of the day-to-day operations of your franchise. From there, you can focus on finding tomorrow’s customers.

The Pinkberry brand has exceptional name recognition in the quick service restaurant franchise industry. Combined with our ongoing marketing, creative services, and public relations support, that name recognition creates an exciting opportunity to develop a dedicated customer base.

As Long as You’re with Us

You’ll have questions down the line. We don’t expect anyone to have it all figured out right away. That’s why we provide ongoing support with team members ready and able to answer your questions and focus on solutions. That support team is backed by the expertise of our parent company, Kahala Brands.

Kahala Brands Has You Covered

Some franchise opportunities may look attractive but are backed by nothing more than a shiny exterior and a footing that falls out when the market shifts. As a part of Kahala Brands, you can believe that Pinkberry is here to stay.

Kahala encompasses 28 brands of quick service restaurant franchises, each with the ongoing support necessary to ensure that every franchisee is well-prepared to start, run, and grow their business.

As a part of Kahala Brands, we’re able to provide marketing, public relations, supply chain and purchasing, design and construction, and much more support to our franchisees that companies without that backing can’t match. You get all the benefits of a seasoned backer with the brand recognition and stand-out footprint of Pinkberry.

We know how important support is to any potential franchisee, especially in the quick service restaurant franchise industry. We wouldn’t be the company we are today without the support of Kahala Brands, and we know that no other name in frozen yogurt can match the support we’ve built together.

So, when you’re selecting your new franchise opportunity, consider the support you’ll receive, and whether that support comes with the backing of a proven name in the quick service restaurant franchise industry.
