The numbers speak for us

When comparing our numbers to the largest self-serve yogurt franchise, there's no contest.

• Their 3-unit territory costs $41,000 more than ours - or 75% more.
• Fro.Zen.Yo offers a development-agent program where our development agents can control the franchise territory in an entire state for only $85,000, which is less than the competition's 3-unit territory fees of $96,000. We offer an opportunity for development agents to participate in franchise fee and royalty revenue from sub-franchisees, and they do not.
• With Fro.Zen.Yo's average store sales at $743,318*, we average $96,203 in higher sales volume per store, or 15% more sales volume.
• Our ongoing fees, per FDD*, are 5.5% royalty + 0% marketing= 5.5% total, or $40,882 per year based on average sales. Fro.Zen.Yo averages $10,887 less in ongoing annual fees for our franchisees, or 21% lower ongoing fees. For a 10-year franchise term, this equates to a savings of $108,870 as a single-unit Fro.Zen.Yo franchisee.

We practice co-prosperity with our franchisees

The Franchise Fee for your first Fro.Zen.Yo location is $25,000. The Franchise Fee for each additional location is $15,000. Our royalty is 7.5% of gross sales (less sales tax) paid on a weekly basis. At this time, we do not charge any marketing fees.

That's it. We don't charge any other ongoing fees.

Many of our competitors will claim to offer a lower royalty, but they aren't forthcoming about any marketing and/or advertising fees at the local or national level. They also may be marking up their frozen yogurt and creating an additional profit center at the franchisee's expense. We do not participate in these deceptive practices. Franchising with Fro.Zen.Yo means that you, the franchisee, pay what we pay for equipment, supplies, food, yogurt, etc.
