Fro-yo girl here. I’m still in shock…first Penguin’s Frozen Yogurt closed last October after 30 years in business and now, Pinkberry has closed after 11 years in La Canada. It closed this week.
For some reason, they’ve already taken the exterior Pinkberry sign down. A hand-written sign taped to the door said closed, but provided no explanation.
Because this location was convenient, I visited often. But I was frustrated that the owner usually did not participate in Pinkberry promotions, even going so far as to not offer new flavors. The texture of the frozen yogurt had issues for quite some time, though it finally improved a bit. And it didn’t stay open late.
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

I dont think it's a coincidence that both frozen Yogurt locations in La Canada closed. I think Menchies has the formula down...lots of flavors and customers can put their own toppings on. Penguins didnt have a huge flavor selection and put toppings (poorly) on top for you. And Pinkberry was even worse with the flavor selection (I think only two) and also put toppings (poorly) on for you.
