Summer Love Frozen Yogurt - Franchise for sale

Summer Love Franchise Opportunities

Frozen yogurt has had its ups and downs since the 80s. Today, though off its hype, frozen yogurt has been a staple of many shopping centres and high streets all over the globe. It has become a popular and a well known treat. People look for a lighter alternative to ice cream, they look for functionality in food in general. Our frozen yogurt offers both.

The wave of frozen yogurt has not reached many parts of the world. Froyo as it’s often called is a great business opportunity with limited investment requirements. It is no secret that a lack of competition is an incredible opportunity to start a business. Unlike ice cream, frozen yogurt is still a growing market.

Summer Love Frozen Yogurt has been a strong player in the frozen yogurt niche for nine years. It has won market competition in Eastern Europe and now benefits from being the only major brand on the market. The owner of the brand, “Kugel Brands, LLC”, achieved it through perseverance and innovative ideas of its team and close cooperation with its franchise partners.

Started in Russia, Summer Love Frozen Yogurt now operates in Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Armenia and other countries of Eastern Europe and Asia. Its stores span across eleven time zones and are located in most major shopping centres of that part of the world.

The innovative approach of the product line is reflected in its choice of natural ingredients as well as in simplicity of in-store preparation of the product. There is no other frozen yogurt on the market that fits the same unique characteristics. Together with localised manufacturing and low fixed food-cost this brand’s innovation presents a great opportunity with reasonable risk and a quick ROI.

The cost efficient approach is also translated to store design. Everything that Kugel Brands provides to a franchise partner is extremely well thought through and tested including detailed design specs, equipment maintenance schedule, marketing material, operational manuals and checklists, and store fit out. The glass that makes a Summer Love store so attractive is made to be regularly and inexpensively updated with new graphics. These stores will continue to attract customers not just with bright lights, but with a modern and hip design for years to come.
