Pinkberry, a pioneer in the frozen yogurt market, started its journey in Los Angeles, CA, in 2005, quickly emerging as a hallmark of the frozen yogurt revival.
Now based in Scottsdale, AZ, and operating under the parent company Kahala Brands™, Pinkberry began franchising in 2006, drawing in entrepreneurs and investors with its robust brand identity and dedication to quality.
What sets Pinkberry apart from its competitors is its emphasis on using fresh, premium ingredients and a distinctive store design that provides a modern and welcoming environment.
The brand is committed to offering a unique product range, featuring its iconic tart frozen yogurt and a wide array of toppings, enabling customers to create a customized experience.
