August 10, 2011

Menchie’s began its franchising initiative three years ago and has now announced that it has reached the company's 100^th location with a recent opening in Houston.

“Menchie’s offers an unparalleled store experience which creates lasting memories by making every guest smile – and this has helped us expand to 100 stores worldwide,” said Amit Kleinberger, CEO of Menchie’s Global Headquarters. “Menchie’s fans see us as their second home. They have embraced our core values of family, community, education and fun. Our focus has always been on community before commerce, and we deliver on that promise by going the extra smile.”

The frozen-yogurt chain has plans to have 250 stores open within the next 12 months and has plans to open an additional 30 by the end of the year.

Additionally, Menchie’s Canadian master franchisor, which began growing the brand a year ago in Canada, recently completed agreements to add 38 Menchie's franchises in Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta over the next five years. Menchie’s also has contracts for locations in Mexico, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago, the United Kingdom, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, India, China, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
