According to the National Day Calendar, National Frozen Yogurt Day is observed on February 6th to celebrate a delicious frozen dessert that has transitioned from a trend to a common freezer item over the past few decades. The sales of frozen yogurt continue to rise annually, driven by people seeking a healthier alternative to ice cream. The surge in popularity can be attributed to the wide variety of flavors and toppings available for frozen yogurt. #NationalFrozenYogurtDay
The Story of Yogurt
In 1970, H.P. Hood introduced the first frozen yogurt in the United States, initially named Frogurt and served as a soft-serve treat. Subsequently, Humphreys and Dannon also launched their versions of frozen yogurt. The 80s witnessed a substantial increase in its popularity, largely due to its perceived status as a "health food" option. Ice cream manufacturers adapted by offering low-fat alternatives. Today, frozen yogurt is experiencing a resurgence as consumers develop a preference for its tangy yogurt flavor. It has become a common treat not only found in household freezers but also enjoyed as a sweet indulgence after work or play.
In today's session, we'll be featuring clips from past interviews about the Yogurtland, Menchies and 16 Handels story. -

Hi everyone and welcome to a very special edition of Franchise Interviews, where for 17 years we have been asking the frantrepreneur who owns one. I am your host Marty McDermott and I am the president of Franchise Interviews. We have a great show. Well it seems like yesterday, but it was 17 years ago today that we launched our podcast Franchise Interviews. I will speak like an older man, but our podcast was live-streamed on WorldTalkRadio in the old days. That meant anything could happen, and there was no room for error. Nevertheless, there were many mistakes. Most of them I laugh at today. Here is our very first show with a franchise called PBLoco. I was incredibly nervous. Don was calm and collected and brought a lot of knowledge and humor to the show. We will start off with a clip of an interview I did with Jaimie Jay of Stop Riding the Pine, which was one of my favorite podcasts. To date, Franchise Interviews has conducted over 800 interviews.
