Fro-yo girl here. As you know, many frozen yogurt shops have seen a drastic decline in revenues due to the coronavirus pandemic. Some have started Go Fund Me online fundraising campaigns to ask for help. The following are all campaigns started by the shops, not campaigns created for them by Yelp and Go Fund Me.
Amer’s Deli/Yogurtrush, Ann Arbor, MI, @amersdeli
Amer’s Deli has been an Ann Arbor/ University of Michigan staple for 32 years. And yes, they have froyo. The owner is a U of M alum. Since business has fallen dramatically during the pandemic, Amer’s is looking to raise $28,000 to keep two locations open and to pay rent, utilities, liabilities and food distributors.
