French frozen yogurt brand Yogurt Factory has made its foray into the Indian retail market through a partnership with FranGlobal, the international division of Franchise India. This collaboration aims to bring the brand’s low-fat frozen treats and diverse menu offerings to India’s rapidly growing community of health-conscious consumers.
Established in 2011 by HEC Paris graduates Ouriel Hodara and Emmanuel Tedesco, Yogurt Factory started with a single store in Paris and has since expanded to over 85 outlets across ten countries, including France, Belgium, Spain, Morocco, and Malaysia. The brand’s entry into India represents a key milestone in its broader global expansion strategy.
Gaurav Marya, Chairman of Franchise India Group, said, “As Indian consumers increasingly seek mindful indulgence, Yogurt Factory is the perfect brand that blends wellness with joy. With 0 percent fat, unlimited toppings, and a cheeky, fun format—it’s the dessert of the future. At FranGlobal, we’re proud to launch a brand that speaks to both foodies and franchisees alike.”
The Indian operations will showcase Yogurt Factory’s signature zero percent fat frozen yogurt, allowing customers to customize their desserts with unlimited toppings at a fixed price. Topping choices will range from fresh fruits, cereals, and sauces to indulgent add-ons like brownies, cookies, and popular global brands such as Oreo, Kinder, and Speculoos.
In addition to its flagship frozen yogurt, Yogurt Factory’s Indian menu will feature a variety of other indulgent yet health-conscious offerings. Customers can enjoy smoothies crafted from fresh fruit blends, thick milkshakes in a range of flavors, and Liège and bubble waffles with customizable toppings. The menu will also include refreshing bubble teas, iced teas, and freshly pressed juices, catering to diverse tastes and preferences across the Indian market.
FranGlobal is actively targeting aspiring entrepreneurs with investment opportunities ranging from ₹30 lakh to ₹60 lakh, offering flexible store formats including compact kiosks and larger flagship outlets. The franchise model offers a turnkey solution, with FranGlobal providing comprehensive support in key areas such as site selection, store design, staff training, marketing, and daily operations.
The first Yogurt Factory outlet in India is set to launch later this year, with the brand planning an ambitious rollout across major metropolitan cities and high-footfall shopping malls nationwide.
