Values & History

Attracted to the simplicity and low cost of what was, at the time, primarily a west coast sensation, sweetFrog was founded by Derek Cha in 2009, starting with just one location in Richmond, VA. Swelling to over 300 locations in the United States with more opening internationally, the company attracted the attention of the MTY Food Group headquartered in Scottsdale, AZ. In the fall of 2018 sweetFrog was acquired by MTY and the franchise was born. At sweetFrog, our business is focused on premium frozen yogurt products, but our passion is the human connection, leading to active sponsorships with Little Leagues, Girl Scouts of America, local charities, and more.

Industry Performance

Frozen yogurt accounts for over $1 billion in revenue annually with sales increasing by 21% between 2008 and 2013. Within that market, sweetFrog has experienced continued growth and business success for its franchisors, opening 44 new franchised units in 2017, a 64% year-over-year increase compared to the previous year with no plans to slow down over the coming years.

Training under the sweetFrog brand of operations takes place at our lead facility in Richmond, VA.
