Orange Leaf expands Aussie footprint

December 4, 2013

Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt is opening its fourth Australian unit this week. Tristan Angelini and Charlotte Block own the franchise opening Dec. 7 in Werribee, just outside of Melbourne, according to a company press release.

Orange Leaf's newest location in Australia is part of its overall aggressive growth plans for the U.S. and abroad, said Reese Travis, CEO of Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt. While Orange Leaf plans on further establishing a presence in large cities along the east coast of Australia, the focus will remain on strategic moves into nearby suburbs surrounding these cities. Worldwide, the company currently has 85 stores under construction and will likely see at least 100 additional stores opened by the end of 2014. The company is also actively exploring international franchise partnerships in Asia, Canada, the Middle East and South America.

"Clearly a love for delicious frozen yogurt and a do-it-yourself toppings bar is not limited to the U.S.," Travis said. "We are definitely seeing an uptick in interest by potential franchisees to bring Orange Leaf's rich and creamy froyo and innovative delivery model to all parts of the world."
