IFYA's 2014 Frozen Yogurt Chain Store Count

Fro-yo girl here. It's back: the annual list of the largest frozen yogurt chains from the International Frozen Yogurt Association. The store counts are based on the locations listed on the company websites of each chain in early August 2014.

IFYA's List of Largest Frozen Yogurt Chains:

1. YOGEN FRUZ: 1300 locations

Yogen Fruz remains the largest frozen yogurt chain this year. According to theYogen Fruz website, Canadian company Yogen Fruz has over 1300 locations in 42 countries. Last August they had over 1400 stores in 46 countries.

2. TUTTI FRUTTI FROZEN YOGURT: 680 locations

The Tutti Frutti Canadian website states that they have over 680 locations in over 30 countries. The Tutti Frutti Facebook page doesn’t mention how many stores they currently have but says they have “over 580 upcoming stores.” Tutti Frutti calls itself the “world’s largest self-serve frozen yogurt brand.”

3. TCBY: 446 locations

At its height, TCBY, the world’s largest frozen yogurt chain, had 1500 locations. Today TCBY (The Country’s Best Yogurt) has over 350 locations in the US and 96 locations abroad (mainly in Canada). The website said they had over 350 locations in the US last August as well. They’re seeking to grow with their dual branded TCBY and Mrs. Fields locations.
