History
Shelly Hwang and Young Lee founded Pinkberry in 2005 when they opened the first store in the West Hollywood neighborhood in Los Angeles, California. At the time, the store served only two flavors of Shelly's original-recipe yogurt: original and green tea. It proved immensely popular, with lines forming all the way around the block. Customers enjoyed the tart, refreshing taste. They also liked the modernist, colorful décor, the low calories and the fresh, healthy toppings.
Pinkberry opened its second store in 2006. In the following years, it expanded rapidly, opening locations in other states. In 2009, Pinkberry opened its first international location in Kuwait. In 2015, Kahala Brands bought Pinkberry as part of its campaign to acquire a wide range of popular food service brands.
Today, Pinkberry has over 300 franchised locations worldwide. It has expanded its range of flavors for frozen yogurt and added a variety of toppings. It also sells related products such as smoothies.
Ideal Candidate
Opening a Pinkberry franchise requires meeting some substantial financial specifications. Pinkberry requires a minimum liquidity of $200,000 and a net worth of at least $400,000. Prospective franchisees should also have good credit and strong knowledge of the local market; Pinkberry prefers franchisees to apply for locations where they live. The company also looks for a proven track record of strong leadership, operational and store management experience. Though Pinkberry can be flexible on some points, franchisees should expect to comply with brand requirements for store design and products.
