Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt

Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt began in 2007 as a single neighborhood shop founded by Danna and Adam Caldwell in Encino, California. Since then, the company has grown into a well-known name in the self-serve frozen yogurt category, offering guests the chance to create their own desserts from a rotating mix of flavors and a wide range of toppings. As of November 2025, Menchie’s operates more than 350 locations across the United States and internationally.

Over the past five years, Menchie’s has maintained steady growth by expanding through franchising, with a particular focus on high-traffic retail centers and family-oriented communities. The brand has increased its presence not only in the United States and Canada, but also in the Middle East and Asia, reflecting its ability to adapt to diverse markets and consumer preferences. Menchie’s has also responded to changing dietary trends by introducing dairy-free and low-sugar options, broadening its appeal.

A notable milestone in the company’s history is its successful transition from a single local shop to an international franchise network, which now serves as a gathering place in many communities. Menchie’s stores often host local events and celebrations, contributing to a sense of community wherever they operate. The company remains independently owned and continues to seek new franchisees and locations, with an emphasis on suburban and urban mixed-use developments. Menchie’s flexible store formats and consistent customer traffic make it a reliable tenant for a variety of retail environments, supporting both established centers and new developments.
