CherryBerry

CherryBerry Yogurt Bar is a self-serve frozen yogurt franchise known for creating a lively and family-friendly dessert experience. Established in 2010 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the brand quickly gained popularity with its colorful and welcoming stores, offering a wide array of yogurt flavors and toppings. CherryBerry's unique concept allows customers to craft their own desserts, selecting from ten to twelve yogurt flavors and a vast toppings bar, with pricing based on the weight of their creations.

In 2013, CherryBerry was acquired by Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, which helped fuel its rapid expansion to over 100 locations across more than 20 states. This growth was largely driven by a franchise model that appealed to local entrepreneurs and emphasized community involvement, often partnering with local schools and charities for fundraising events.

As of November 2025, CherryBerry operates 17 locations, primarily in Minnesota, Oklahoma, and other select Midwest markets. This smaller footprint reflects the challenges faced by the self-serve frozen yogurt industry, such as increased competition and changing consumer tastes. Despite these challenges, CherryBerry remains committed to delivering a joyful and interactive dessert experience. Some of its locations are now co-branded with Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, providing customers with an expanded selection of sweet offerings.

For commercial real estate professionals, CherryBerry is recognized for its flexible store formats, which typically range from 1,200 to 1,800 square feet. The brand is known for attracting family traffic to neighborhood centers and mixed-use developments. While the company is not actively expanding in 2025, it remains open to select co-branding opportunities with its parent company in established markets, focusing on supporting its existing operators. CherryBerry's lasting appeal lies in its customizable product offerings, established brand recognition, and its ability to adapt within key regional markets.
