Fro-yo girl here. Go Greek closed two mall-based locations in Southern California at the end of March.
The Oaks Mall (Thousand Oaks, CA) shop opened in May 2018 and the Glendale Galleria shop opened in March 2018. The Glendale space has been stripped of signage and equipment, but a new tenant hasn’t moved in yet.
While I’m not sure how long the average frozen yogurt shop stays open, I rarely see frozen yogurt shops close in under a year. Menchie’s has been open at the Oaks Mall for seven years. I think you might be able to get frozen yogurt at the Haagen Dazs inside the Glendale Galleria or across the street at the Americana, but there is no frozen yogurt shop left at either mall.
The sad part is that Go Greek had high quality yogurt which they imported from Greece (it was available fresh and frozen). I also appreciated their healthier toppings. Their shops were attractive and had a high- end Greek boutique feel.
Unfortunately, I experienced multiple problems with the Go Greek Glendale location though, starting with my first visit. Their promotions aren’t clear and the customer service wasn’t friendly either. I tried to attend the grand opening of Go Greek Glendale, which was announced to the public on Instagram and Facebook. However, when I arrived, I was told it was a private event. On another occasion, I showed up for a promotion that they posted on Instagram, only to be told that I needed to show an email that they sent with the promotion. This was not stated on their Instagram post. Anyway, it was very frustrating and soured my feelings towards the entire chain, but the Glendale location in particular. One slip-up is understandable but who wants to deal with a pattern of poor communication?
The remaining Go Greek locations include Beverly Hills, Woodland Hills, Santa Monica, and Las Vegas.

Fro-yo girl here. Go Greek opened at the Oaks Mall on May 26. It’s on the second floor, the outdoor part, by Vans and not that far from Menchie’s.
Go Greek specializes in authentic Greek yogurt (imported from Greece) that's available fresh or frozen. The fresh yogurt comes in sweet or savoy combinations (starting at $8.50). The fresh yogurt comes in different flavors like fig, lemon, sour cherry, honey, hazelnut, etc.
There are six flavors of Greek froyo on tap. Ask for sample cups. The frozen yogurt is self-serve and the toppings are healthier (fresh fruit, dried fruit, cocoa nibs, chocolate chips, premium sauces, Greek biscuits, hemp seeds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, nuts, peanut chews, granola, coconut).
The yogurt is different because not only is it imported, but it tastes different. And it's made with whole milk, so it's thicker and richer. The frozen yogurt flavors all have some tang, the natural tang of yogurt. While it's pricier at 89 cents an ounce, the quality is higher (and it's imported from Greece). Also, a smaller portion is more satisfying since it’s richer. I recommend the Greek honey flavor.
It's a smaller location with no indoor seating, but there are a few tables outside. The decor is nice - white and blue like the Greek flag.
Go Greek also announced that they planned to open a location in Las Vegas.

Fro-yo girl here. There aren’t a lot of details yet, but I heard that Go Greek The Oaks Mall will open next week, on Tuesday, May 29. It’s on the second floor, the outdoor part, by Vans. Nothing official has been announced yet, so it’s probably a soft opening, with a grand opening to be announced later.
Go Greek will offer fresh Greek yogurt, self-serve Greek frozen yogurt, and Greek coffee.
Update: They had a soft opening and special sampling on May 26 from 2-5 PM.
