Pinkberry Yogurt Franchise?

ATTENTION: On October 16, 2007, the firm took in $27.5 million in capital funding from Maveron, the venture fund founded by Starbucks founder Howard Schultz, to expand the firm’s concept nationwide. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinkberry#History
What does it all mean? Pinkberry has not been sold to a new owner, but Pinkberry, Inc. received new investment fund so that the company can open new stores at a faster rate nationwide. If you’re really interested in the Pinkberry franchise, I would recommend that you have sufficient capital and personal assets to start up the business, and business experience (or a partner who does) to convince the franchiser that you are a good candidate. If all fails, there are dozens of frozen yogurt franchises that require a much lower investment capital. Good luck in your business endeavor!

Pinkberry Frozen Yogurt Company Logo and Franchise
Interested in a Pinkberry Frozen Yogurt franchise? Well, you may need to wait a few more months to even obtain a franchisee prospectus from Pinkberry, Inc. Here is the quick rundown of What’s New in the thriving business:

  • The word is that Pinkberry, Inc. has been acquired by one of the Walt Disney’s Company as of December 2006.
    Update: The acquisition has not been finalized as the owners of Pinkberry did not accept the offer.
  • The two founders, Hye-kyung “Shelly” Hwang and Young Lee are now (or could be) successful multi-millionaires. Congratulations.
  • Prior to the acquisition, Pinkberry, Inc. did not offer prospects with an Uniform Franchise Offering Circular (UFOC) because the company did not apply with the California Franchise Tax Board.

So you’ve heard of the frozen yogurt from a friend and you ended up trying the product out yourself. Undoubtedly, the frozen yogurt tasted surprisingly good despite the premium price. And for those with the entrepreneurial sense you suddenly wanted to open up your very own Pinkberry store. Eureka, I can become a franchisee! It will not be easy as you think it is and by reading the blog in its entirety, I hope this info could save you the time and energy.

I assume you know what Pinkberry is since you came this far but for those that are still in the unknown zone, these two articles should get you started: LA Times article and Colleen Cuisine’s blog.

Was it a mere coincidence that I picked up that day’s copy of the LA Times? Apparently not because I am here blogging about the business and not operating my own Pinkberry in Victoria Gardens shopping center or somewhere down in Irvine. If I had contacted Shelly the day I read the Times, it might have been a different story. It was late October when I sent off an e-mail to inquire on becoming a franchisee. I didn’t get a response from them but I did get both an e-mail and a phone call from the Fiore Natural Italian Yogurt company which I had contacted at the same time as Pinkberry. But I wasn’t interested in Fiore or investing in a franchise by December.

Based on outside sources, it took only a few days for Pinkberry to attract a line of investors willing to pay an upfront fee (six digit sum) to “reserve” their own store. I doubt the deposits accrued any interest so I am willing to bet that some of the investors were not too happy. An average time to open a single Pinkberry takes longer than three months because of many hoops to go through. Getting a lease agreement finalized from start could take a few weeks in itself. But in mid-November, Pinkberry, Inc. hired a professional real estate firm that specializes in retail leasing (Robert K. Futterman & Associates, LLC) to expedite the whole process.

I did an extensive research on the industry, a break-even analysis, market analysis, and financial planning. I basically wrote a complete business plan on Pinkberry. Thanks goes out to Julie Chun for providing more than a sufficient amount of resources. Thank you very much, really helped out on the business plan. If anyone would like to see the business plan, please give me a call but I am only willing to show the plan face to face due to a few confidential information. Edit: Two of the investors requested that I do not show the business plan to an outside party.
What was interesting during the investigation was the the local competitors of Pinkberry. An infamous company that copied the decor and the product line with the exception of the business name but it isn’t difficult to figure out how the business name was thought out. Kiwiberry (sometimes spelled as Kiwiberri) business was founded by John Bae. You can also find more information about Kiwiberry online (Colleen’s blog) and read mixed reviews from Pinkberry’s loyal fans. Hwang was well aware of Kiwiberry and Bae’s intention to steal their customer base ,and eventually Pinkberry, Inc. had filed a lawsuit against Kiwiberry on November 2006 in the City of Los Angeles.

Before I go any further about the business, let me share with you a brief history how the founders got their idea and why this business can be a smart investment for entrepreneurs and investors alike. Shelly had early experience in the food industry and had ran a few restaurant franchises on her own. Two of the businesses had failed. Yet she persevered and thought of an idea to open another food service store but at a much smaller scale. She imported the frozen yogurt concept from South Korea and created the Pinkberry brand on her own. In urban cities in South Korea, frozen yogurts were a popular dessert amongst the social hangouts. The Red Mango (website requires the Flash plugin) company is one of the most widely known franchise that makes a wide variety of drinks, yogurts, ice cream, and desserts. Red Mango is one of many other yogurt businesses that have been operating in South Korea. Hwang acknowledged that the very idea of the Pinkberry concept was not her very invention but a product of someone else. Without a doubt, Hwang (the “Entrepreneur”) took the risk of introducing a fairly new concept to the Southern California market by investing her own capital and time and building a new demand in the market.
Strengths

  • Strong Brand (in the local market and quickly expanding); Disney’s acquisition will surely create a stronger brand awareness
  • Excellent Locations; Pinkberry leases only upscale retail locations
  • Attractive Profit Margin; above 50% profit for each sales (variable)

Weaknesses

  • Premium Upfront Fee; franchise fee is in the six digit
  • Easy entrants of competitors; yogurts (Golden Spoons), smoothies (Jamba Juice), ice-cream (Cold Stones), and etc.
  • Fad; people can live without frozen yogurt and there are many alternatives

Important Reminder: Pinkberry, Inc. has not been officially registered with the California Franchise Tax Board. I might be getting some incorrect information but the following information i found on CareerBuilder.com contradicts the franchise aspect of Pinkberry.
4sunkids, Inc. name have been popping in many websites mostly from on job searches. Some pages address the company as the “Nation’s largest franchise of Pinkberry” and it may or may not be true. From what I can tell based on those websites, 4sunkids, Inc. may just be one of the early investors of Pinkberry and the investor(s) created the business entity and posting availability of part-time jobs in their Pinkberry stores.

4sunkids, inc. is the Nation’s largest franchise of Pinkberry, the innovative company that has brought style and panache to the world of frozen desserts with its upscale, modern décor and unique concept. We serve non-fat frozen yogurt with a natural tang that’s not too sweet – top it off with a variety of fresh fruit like mango or blueberry, add some mochi or Cap’n Crunch and you’ll know what all the fuss is about.

4sunkids is opening ten new locations throughout the Greater Los Angeles area over the next three months and we’re looking for qualified Multi-Unit Managers, Store Managers and Assistant Managers with experience in the quick-service industry to help us realize our goals. Come work for a company where your efforts and experience are appreciated and rewarded. We offer a competitive salary, bonus structure and benefits as well as immediate potential for career-minded individuals.

A continuation of the Pinkberry Yogurt Business is being added to help you on your venture. The investor mentioned in the business plan requested that I do not disclose nor share the business plan with anyone.

    I was interested in a Pink Berry franchise until I heard about all of their “requirements”. So instead, my partners and I decided to open up our own yogurt place called Cantaloop. It’s located on the corner of Hollywood Blvd and La Brea (near the Mann’s Chinese Theater). Just look for the big orange awning. We have been open one week and business has been amazing. We are offering 2 flavors of yogurt. Plain and Pomegranate. Our product has 20% less sugar and 16% less calories than Pinkberry. We will also be offering a sugar-free plain yogurt that has 100% less sugar and 76% less calories. We have a great patio area with seating and loungers. Opening the store took us almost 6 months from start to opening. I would invite you or anyone else interested in the yogurt business to come by and try our product. We are looking to expand and we would love to discuss new opportunities with the right people.

    Pinkberry Update……

    A Pinkberry just popped up in my hometown and I reluctantly went there twice this past weekend. $5.95 for a medium 3 topping green tea yogurt. Sounds like a ridiculous price to pay for frozen yogurt but if you look at the $5.00 Grande Frappucino …

    Good afternoon…

    As the others have requested before me, I’d love to see the business plan you constructed for this business venture. I understand the confidentiality reasons for meeting face to face and respect that entirely. I do however would like to know if it would be possible to see the business plan short of any information that may be considered confidential. This is due to the location limitations I will have in meeting face to face. Any and all information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for your assistance!

    To all the people that are interested in opening a PinkBerry store.

    Please only send me emails if you are 100% serious and have the financial capability to do so.

    I’ve contacted PinkBerry and they currently do not accept anymore Franchisees in the state of CA. However they are accepting in States such as Arizona, Nevada, Florida, probably a few more.

    The catch is this, the minimum number of stores to open for each new Franchisees is 5. Hopefully, I haven’t heard wrong from the phone conversation. But she repeated FIVE stores minimum. That being said, I do not have that much capital to cover all 5 shops operating expenses.

    I am looking for 4 other partners to form a corporation to open the minimum 5 shops either in Arizona, Nevada or Florida.

    Please only send me email if you are Serious. I live in Orange County in CA. My email is awong3k@yahoo.com

    Yogurbella is actually the first frozen yogurt business in the U.S. to offer franchising. Headquarters, is in 3015 Grand Avenue, Coconut Grove, Florida 33133. Second store to open in South Beach, Florida in June 2008.
    Anyone interested, can apply on inquire at www-yogurbella-com
    Plans are to open 200 stores in the next 2-3 years. Yogubella has been written up as the best frozen yogurt business in Florida. Many Pinkberry’s customers are admitting that Yogurbella’s original yogurt is better than Pinkberry!
    Anyway, if interested in being part of a international company, check out Yogurbella Franchise Co.

    So exactly how much is the franchise, six figures is very vague. Am completely adicted to this product and want to buy a franchise as soon as possible. Please contact me at your earliest convenience. We own a television production company in Irvine (20 year old company) and would love to create some commercials for Pinkberry as well. Have some great ideas!
    Thank you for your time,

    I just moved to Las Vegas, Nevada from Los Angeles, California. There are no Pinkberry’s here, its so dissapointing. I had to drive to LA to get one! I would have brought back more but they would have melted. I am 54 years old and I need to open a Pinkberry. I lost my home in LA and now I am renting a house and looking for a job. I’m not getting anywhere and I have some money saved from working years and years. My 86 year old Mother even loves Pinkberry and she could help me run the store. I need a miracle to help my Family. I sincerely think that owning a Pinkberry would be the answer to my prayers. Please consider me and tell me what to do I’m willing and able to be part of your team.
    Sincerely,
    Deborah Acrich

    Is the sales still going strong in terms of monthly gross sales? If pinkberry requires you to lay down the same initial franchise fee from two years ago, I’d expect to sell as much cups of them frozen yogurt today too.

    I realize this blog entry is rather old, but I am doing research on opening a Pinkberry for my Business management class at a local university. I am currently trying to find any type of franchise information and/or financial information, but am having a hard time finding anything. I have to prepare a SWOT analysis, financil summary and business proposal, but I am having a hard time finding any type of online information that could help me. If you wouldn’t mind emailing me in regards to this would appreciate it. Maybe you could help me or direct me to a webpage or someone who has more information about Pinkberry.

    Your feedback in appreciated! :)

    I want to start a business and something like this is what I have in mind. I’m from Mexico City but I’ve been living in San Antonio tx. for the last 2 years. I’m coming from a big city with lots of ideas in my mind. Living in San Antonio for all this time, gave me the oportunity to find out what is missing in my area (neighborhood). San Antonio is a city that is groing up day by day with new developments such as upper class malls, restaurants and nice places to hang out.
    I’ll deeply apreciate if you could send me information about Pinkberry Frozen Yogurt franchise either by mail or e-mail.
    Looking forward to hear from you,
    Hilda L.

    If you would be prepared to meet in LA area I’m all for it – I’ll come down
    for the day from the bay area. how do you get comped for the research
    (valuable) you’ve done on this business model?

    I recently found a pretty interesting software on franchise to generate franchise documents. I don´t have a large company at all, but anyway i take the opportunity to franchise my business. This tool was very helpful and I recommend it.
    There is also a good explanation of what a franchise process represent on franchising this web page.
