Menchie’s Closes in South Pasadena

Fro-yo girl here. Menchie’s in South Pasadena, CA has closed. I’m not sure if the closure is temporary or permanent. According to Yelp, the shop is expected to reopen on August 24, 2022. Google Places says it’s permanently closed. The phone number has not been disconnected. However, the location is no longer listed on the Menchie’s app, so I think it’s closed for good or if it reopens, it won’t be as a Menchie’s. The closure occurred about 2 – 3 weeks ago.

The froyo machines are still inside the shop and most of the signage is still there. The light was on in the kitchen and everything seemed to still be there. The furniture is still there. There was no sign on the door and no announcement was made on social media. The last update on their Facebook page was made in February 2020. I’ll have to keep watching the space to see what happens.

They were closed down by the health department this time last year, so maybe the same thing happened? The county found rodent droppings.

Update: The business was listed for sale in February 2022 and it seems like they may have found a buyer. The transaction is listed as pending.

* MENCHIE’S: 1040 Mission St., South Pasadena, CA 91030

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