A leader in the frozen yogurt industry and a beloved favorite for over 15 years, Yogurtini offers 16 non-fat or low-fat frozen yogurt and sorbet flavors, along with a self-serve toppings bar featuring over 80 options. This allows customers to craft their personalized desserts with endless combinations on each visit.
“For over nine years I have owned and operated four Yogurtini Self-Serve shops in Phoenix, AZ and three U-Swirl locations in Las Vegas, NV. I am excited about the opportunity to capitalize on the strength of the Yogurtini brand with the rebrand and grand opening of my current U-Swirl locations in the Las Vegas area. With the dedication, significant investment, and proven track record of the Dahyas in building successful franchises, it was an obvious choice to unite my locations under the Yogurtini brand and lean into the superior product, service, and franchise support Yogurtini is known for,” said Mike Mackey, Yogurtini Franchise Owner.
As part of their growth strategy, the Dahyas have decided to revitalize the Yogurtini brand by leveraging the expertise of the original founding sisters, Chelsey Nelson Seabrook and Natasha Nelson. The duo opened the first Yogurtini shop, the first self-serve concept in Arizona, in 2008, and went on to expand the brand to 30 locations nationwide before it was acquired in 2013 by Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory.
“The key to Yogurtini’s lasting success has always been the unique, inviting, and upscale atmosphere we created in our stores. As part of our national growth initiative, we’re excited to bring the brand back to its roots by tapping into the talents of the original co-founders. Chelsey has been appointed Chief Marketing Officer, and we’re also consulting with her sister Natasha’s marketing agency, to reinvigorate the brand and restore its original ethos,” said Neal Dahya, co-owner of Yogurtini.
“When we started Yogurtini over 15 years ago, customers were hooked because of the high-quality frozen yogurt we made, and of course because of the extensive toppings bar that was unlike any other. We also found customers loved spending time in our stores that were welcoming and fun while still offering an elevated experience. I’m excited to bring that premium standard back to our existing and future locations,” said Chelsey Nelson Seabrook, CMO of Yogurtini. “We are now in the process of modernizing our store designs, menus, and operational support so that our franchisees can have even greater success.”
The new Yogurtini stores are now open at 305 N. Nellis Ave., 9795 W. Charleston Blvd., and 6592 N. Decatur Blvd. in Las Vegas, NV. For more information about locations and franchising opportunities, visit www.yogurtini.com.
