Fro-yo
girl here. Westchester County is a huge county in the suburbs of New York City,
covering 450 square miles. I visited various small towns but didn’t see most of
the county. During my visit, I noticed that most small towns had at least one
froyo shop but a fair number have closed. Peachwave was the chain that I saw
the most often though some of their locations like the one in Mount Kisco, NY
had recently closed (permanently).
Rural
Connecticut was similar with nicer towns like Greenwich sporting a Pinkberry.
The Pinkberry at Woodbury Commons Outlet Mall had just opened.
Here’s
a list of froyo shops in other cities that I visited:
- Ridgefield, CT: Peachwave, Swizzles (closed)
- Danbury, CT: Peachwave, Yogen Fruz, 21 Taste (closed)
- Bethel, CT: Peachwave
- Greenwich, CT: Pinkberry, Rosie’s, Yogurt City
- New Canaan, CT: Swirl, Peachwave (closed August 2015), Red Mango (closed August 2014)
- Port Chester, NY: Bubbles & Berry
A
2011 article about frozen yogurt in Westchester Magazine has a list of frozen
yogurt shops by the year that the shop opened. I’ve looked into which shops are
still open.

The

the small towns now have juice shops.
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
