TCBY

TCBY is a retail frozen dessert business that serves premium soft serve frozen yogurt, hand-dipped frozen yogurt, and a variety of dessert and treat items. Our menu can include cakes, pies, sorbet, smoothies, fresh yogurt, mix-ins, toppings, chocolate, dried fruit, nuts, candies, popcorn, and drinks. We serve the general public, including customers looking for low-fat or no sugar added options for a lighter treat. Our stores operate in retail locations such as strip malls, freestanding buildings, lifestyle centers, and smaller kiosk formats. Sales are typically strongest in warmer months, when customers are more likely to buy frozen desserts.
