All American Ice Cream & Yogurt

All American Ice Cream & Yogurt is a small, regional frozen dessert chain that focuses on soft-serve frozen yogurt, traditional ice cream, and related treats. Stores typically offer a rotating mix of flavors, toppings, and sundaes, served in a simple, quick-service setting that works well for families, teens, and young adults looking for an affordable treat in everyday retail locations.

The concept grew out of a small frozen dessert shop that began operating in the early 2000s, although specific details on the original founding year are not publicly documented. Over time, the brand expanded beyond its original store through a combination of company-operated units and franchised locations. It gradually built a presence in several Midwestern and Southeastern states, with particular concentrations in parts of Indiana, Ohio, and Tennessee.

A meaningful milestone for the chain came in the late 2010s, when it refreshed its store design and leaned more heavily into franchising. During that period, All American Ice Cream & Yogurt focused on secondary and smaller markets, adding locations in suburban and small-city trade areas where neighborhood retail centers and value-oriented anchors drive consistent traffic.

As of December 2025, the brand appears to operate a small network of locations, likely in the low double digits, with a footprint that remains regional rather than national. Stores are commonly found in community and neighborhood centers, often as inline spaces near grocery stores, discount retailers, or other daily-needs tenants. The format is relatively compact, oriented to counter service or simple self-serve layouts, which allows the concept to fit a range of existing retail bays.

In the last five years, the business has shifted from earlier, more active outreach to franchise prospects to a much more selective growth posture. Expansion today is limited to a modest number of franchise-driven openings in markets where the brand is already known. There is no clear indication of a large-scale new market push or corporate-led development program for 2025 and 2026. Instead, activity is centered on filling gaps and reinforcing trade areas that have performed reliably over time.

Public information on All American Ice Cream & Yogurt is sparse. The brand’s website is currently inactive, and there are no widely available details on leadership, corporate structure, or franchise contact channels. Despite this low profile, the remaining stores function as local frozen dessert options that can complement grocery-anchored and value-focused centers. For landlords and leasing teams, the concept is best viewed as a niche, regionally familiar tenant that can occupy small inline space and cater to family and evening traffic, rather than as a high-growth national chain.
