Fro-yo Twittering

Fro-yo girl here. I joined Twitter two years ago (under another name) but I couldn’t find anyone I wanted to follow (granted, I didn’t look very hard) and I didn’t have anything to say either. Things are completely different now that Twitter has caught on with fro-yo shops. If you haven’t joined yet and you like fro-yo, sign up for an account so that you can follow your favorite fro-yo shops or fro-yo shops from all over the world! Typical fro-yo shop tweets include announcing new hours or new flavors.

Fro-yo shops with a Bay Area presence on Twitter include:
Blush: http://twitter.com/Blushdublin
Cefiore: http://twitter.com/cefiore
Culture: http://twitter.com/CultureFroYo
Frozo’s: http://twitter.com/Frozos
Greencup: http://twitter.com/greencupyogurt
Orange Tree: http://twitter.com/OrangeTree_Cup
Penguin Froyo: http://twitter.com/penguinfroyo
Pinkberry: http://twitter.com/pinkberryswirl
Red Mango: http://twitter.com/RedMango
Tutti Frutti: http://twitter.com/tfyogurt
Tuttimelon: http://twitter.com/tuttimelonfroyo
yoCup: http://twitter.com/yocup
Yogen Fruz: http://twitter.com/yogenfruz
Yogurt Park: http://twitter.com/YogurtPark
Yogurtland: https://twitter.com/YogurtlandInc

I think the majority of fro-yo shop Twitter accounts belong to Bay Area shops.

The award for the fro-yo shop that is using Twitter most effectively goes to Red Mango. They’ve announced store openings, celebrity sightings (the Governator recently stopped by for some fro-yo), general fro-yo news, etc. They’ve also uploaded a lovely, appetizing cup of fro-yo as their background image. CEO Dan Kim even has his own separate Twitter account.

Fro-yo fans are also busy tweeting. One of my favorites is a fro-yoholic in Chicago: http://twitter.com/ChiFroYo

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

  1. Hi Fro-Yo girl! I am a fellow froyoholic from the East Coast; check out the google map I made of all fro-yo places on the Eastern Seaboard! It's a work in progress, as new places open all the time, but I still like it:

  2. Hi Stella,

    I'm sure your map is amazing...for some reason I can't see it but I'm sure that's a problem on my end. I can imagine it though.
