Menchie’s Crosses The Pacific And Signs Master Franchise Agreement In Japan

dBusinessNews Los Angeles:

Menchie’s, the nation’s fastest-growing retailer of self-serve frozen yogurt, today announced that it has signed a master franchise agreement in Japan, and expects to open its first store in the next few months, and 100 locations in Japan in the next four years. This continues the significant international expansion for Menchie’s, having announced last month its entrance into the Canadian market. Menchie’s currently has stores in 12 U.S. states, and intends to continue both national and international expansion.

“We are extremely excited to be entering the Japanese market, as we feel that the local residents will embrace Menchie’s unparalleled store experience,” said Amit Kleinberger, CEO of Menchie’s Group, Inc. “As the global demand for self-serve frozen yogurt rises, Menchie’s expects to be the world leader by virtue of our unique self-serve design, our variety of frozen yogurt flavors and toppings, and our family-friendly atmosphere.”

Announcing this master franchise agreement comes one month after Menchie’s was awarded 1st place in Restaurant Business Magazine’s ‘Future 50’ list, which ranked the fastest-growing franchises in the food industry.
