Froyo Scene in Rancho Cucamonga, CA




Fro-yo girl here. Rancho Cucamonga in San Bernardino County, CA, has a population of 176,336, making it the 28th most populous city in the state. The median household income of $108,345 is slightly higher than the state average, and 82% have white collar jobs.

There are two froyo shops left, Menchie’s and Yogurtland. Eleven froyo shops have closed. The first froyo shop in Rancho Cucamonga was likely Yogurt N More, which opened in 1983 and closed in 2016 when the owners retired. Most of the froyo shops have been self-serve. Crepe N Berry was the last froyo shop to open back in 2014. Costco used to offer froyo as well, but they switched to soft serve ice cream.
