• Yogurtland, pioneers of the self-serve frozen yogurt category, has come to Kent.
The new franchise, 10216 SE 256th St., Suite 106, in the East Hill Village Center, next to Kent Meridian High School, is the company’s fifth location in the state. It officially opened Friday.
Franchise owners Lauren and Gregg Bennett, who also own two other Seattle locations, first stumbled upon Yogurtland while visiting their daughter in college in the San Francisco area last year.
They soon began looking into franchise opportunities.
“As people are becoming more health-conscious and moving from ice cream to healthier options, the frozen yogurt industry is booming,” Gregg Bennett said. “I’m looking forward to providing a healthier dessert option to kids and families in local neighborhoods.
“Kent is a great market for us as we will be the first in the city and our product is strongly appealing to the local demographic.”
Customers will be able to serve themselves from 12 different sweet and tart flavors that include traditional favorites like cookies and cream and Dutch chocolate.
Since the opening of its first location in Fullerton, Calif. in 2006, Yogurtland has grown to more than 175 locations in the U.S., Mexico and Guam.
