Red Mango is a U.S.-based frozen yogurt and smoothie franchise known for its commitment to health-conscious offerings and premium ingredients. Founded in 2006 by Korean-American entrepreneur Daniel J. Kim, the brand opened its first U.S. location in 2007 near UCLA in Los Angeles.
Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, Red Mango began franchising in July 2007 and has since expanded to over 100 locations across the United States and Puerto Rico, with additional international presence in countries like Qatar and El Salvador.
The franchise specializes in all-natural, nonfat frozen yogurt fortified with live and active probiotic cultures, certified gluten-free and kosher. Beyond frozen yogurt, Red Mango's menu includes fresh fruit smoothies, cold-squeezed juices, yogurt parfaits, and light café items such as wraps and salads.
Red Mango differentiates itself in the competitive frozen dessert market through its emphasis on health and wellness. It was the first frozen yogurt chain to receive the National Yogurt Association's Live & Active Cultures seal, underscoring its commitment to authentic, probiotic-rich products.

Red Mango offers limited territory protection to franchisees through a Protected Area defined by a radius or mapped zone, but this excludes malls, airports, and other “Closed Markets.”
The franchisor can still sell products through grocery stores, online channels, and third-party delivery services, even within the Protected Area. Franchisees should also expect that delivery zones may overlap, which is not considered a violation.
Under a Store Development Agreement, franchisees get rights to open multiple stores in a defined area, but Red Mango retains the right to operate or license stores outside that area. The franchisor can also continue operating or licensing acquired businesses within the Protected Area.
