Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt, launched in 2008, stands out for its innovative self-serve, choose-your-own-toppings frozen yogurt model. Based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, the franchise began its expansion journey in 2009, driven by the success of an initial store in Edmond, Oklahoma. Recognizing the potential, Mike Liddell and Reese Travis acquired a franchise, paving the way for the brand's rapid growth.
This strategic move led to a significant increase in locations across the United States and eventually to international markets. Orange Leaf's expansion highlights its widespread appeal and ability to adapt to various markets.
What sets Orange Leaf apart is its extensive selection of flavors, which includes traditional, unique, no-sugar-added, gluten-free, and dairy-free options. This variety caters to a broad customer base with diverse dietary needs and preferences.
The brand offers more than just frozen yogurt; it provides an opportunity for customers to personalize their experience with a range of flavors and toppings, making each visit distinct and memorable.
