History of Yogurtland in Irvine

first Yogurtland in Irvine

Fro-yo girl here. With Yogurtland turning 20 this year, I was inspired to look at the history of Yogurtland in Irvine. While the first Yogurtland opened in 2006 in Fullerton, CA, Irvine became Yogurtland’s stronghold. It’s been the home of Yogurtland's HQ since 2012.

Currently, there are four Yogurtland branches in Irvine. Three branches have closed. At its peak, Yogurtland had six branches in Irvine.

Irvine's population is estimated to be around 320,000, so it's large enough to support multiple Yogurtland branches.

This was the first Yogurtland in Irvine. It opened in 2007, the year after Yogurtland was founded. I visited several times, because it was also a test location. They tested breakfast items and fancy cones here. They had 16 self-serve flavors a day.
