Froyo Scene in Fresno, CA

 

Fro-yo girl here. Fresno, the county seat of Fresno County in the Central Valley region in California. With a population of 545,716, Fresno is the fifth most-populous city in California. Over 50% of the population is Hispanic. Agricultural production is the main industry. The median household income in Fresno, CA is $66,804, with 20% of the population living below the poverty line.

I found six froyo shops (three Menchie’s, two Yogurtland branches, the new Sunnyside Swirlz) and one Greek fast casual restaurant that serve froyo in Fresno. I found fourteen closed froyo shops. Many of them did not last longer than three years. TCBY was probably the oldest froyo shop in town. The heyday for froyo was 2010 when Tuttimelon, Yogurtland, Tutti Frutti, and Yogurlato opened.
