As a franchisee, what has your experience been with the latest surge in yogurt consumption? Is the self-serve by weight concept big near you? Do you face an onslaught of competition from the likes of Pinkberry and Yogen Fruz or equivalent? I appreciate the insight!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06835444549483857685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791950514597524757.post-46711199363447379082012-01-08T09:38:04.171-06:002012-01-08T09:38:04.171-06:00Hi,

I read your blog and contacted TCBY corporate to see if there was a self serve store in the Chicagoland area. There is a new self-serve store in Skokie, IL. It is located at 4999 Old Orchard Centre. If I can be of further assistance, please contact me at tcbymemphis@comcast.net.Ripperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12094877981276473893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791950514597524757.post-37346030158898996582012-01-05T10:48:33.106-06:002012-01-05T10:48:33.106-06:00My initial thoughts exactly, James.

But check out the franchise info page: http://franchise.tcby.com/<br /><br />TCBY has copied the self-serve by weight craze completely, even have classic tart flavors!<br /><br />If I were part of the marketing team, I would just own it - "look we did yogurt first, we totally missed fro-yo's uprising, but we're ready now! Come back!"<br /><br />I am a bit intrigued to venture in to one of their new concept stores. Seems we don't have any in the great Chicagoland area. Sigh.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06835444549483857685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791950514597524757.post-23812076588301028672012-01-05T10:42:50.867-06:002012-01-05T10:42:50.867-06:00Love the logo change, but I worry it won't cha...Love the logo change, but I worry it won't change the fact TCBY's concept is a bit dated for the latest self-serve, by the weight fro-yo craze.James Alayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02024377680762376919noreply@blogger.com
