Yogen Früz Master Franchisees Michael Geonnotti and Ron Perruzza were all smiles as they introduced their innovative frozen yogurt kiosks during a chilly home opener at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia on April 1, 2011. The brisk weather didn't seem to bother the ambitious business partners, the NL East Champion Philadelphia Phillies or their loyal fans, as the sell-out crowd indulged in their first tastes of the creamy, fruity frozen treat while cheering on an exciting come-from-behind ninth inning Phillies victory.
Frigid Phillies fans seemed unfazed by the weather and quite impressed by the company's products and innovative production process. "Almost all of our customers are surprised that we blend the fruit and frozen yogurt together," said Michael Geonnotti. Customers choose either low fat vanilla, low fat chocolate or fat free sorbet, then select a frozen fruit to blend in. At the two kiosks inside Citizens Bank Park, consumers can choose blueberries, mango, strawberries, raspberries or bananas. Once the yogurt or sorbet and fruit choices are made, the ingredients are all fed into a "Mix It" machine, which produces a fruity and creamy treat for $6.50. Top it off with chocolate or rainbow sprinkles for no extra charge.
Perruzza and Geonnotti are currently seeking franchisees throughout PA, NJ, DE and North Florida. "With franchise fees of $25,000, we're expecting to find a lot of opportunity in the mid-Atlantic and northern Florida regions," said Perruzza. Yogen Früz offers each franchisee a unique opportunity with business models ranging from kiosks, inline stores, cafes and mobile trucks.
Founded in 1986 in Toronto by Aaron, Michael and Simon Serruya, Yogen Früz has grown to be a world leader in the frozen yogurt category, with over 1200 locations operating in 25 countries around the world.
