With creative, custom store designs and one of the highest per store sales averages in the industry, Forever Yogurt is a profitable business opportunity - backed by thousands of "Forever Fans," a bold crowd funded, community owned franchising plan, and a booming market with room to grow.   

     

Grow with Forever Yogurt

Forever Yogurt Traction

FY + the Community

Forever Yogurt is proud to be the first franchisor to introduce community modeled franchising. Partnering with CrowdFranchise boots the Forever Yogurt brand, qualifies all leads, and provides boundless support from the neighborhood. By recognizing that communities are the future of franchising, Forever Yogurt will grow in a new direction from all other franchise companies – as our stores will be:

  • Crowd Funded: We are the first to use the CrowdFranchise platform for crowd funded investments.
  • Custom Designed: No two Forever Yogurt locations are identical. With each shop, we strive to embrace the unique personality of each community.

        

  • Community Owned: Because the stores qualify to have multiple investors, all owners are awarded franchises, and have active equity and voting rights in the business.
