Yo Way Brings Healthier Fun to Australia with 25 Stores and Growing
Life is too short for boring desserts. It is also too short for a business you do not enjoy. 🍦
Yo Way is the answer to both.
Yo Way brings fresh, self-serve frozen yogurt that is fun to eat and actually good for you. Every batch is made in store daily, up to 97% fat free, and packed with calcium and probiotics. There are gluten free, vegan, sugar free, Kosher and Halal options so nobody misses out. Customers walk in, grab a cup, swirl their favourite flavours, pile on toppings, weigh it and go.
Since opening its first store in June 2024, Yo Way has grown to 25 stores across New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and South Australia, bringing that healthier kind of fun to more communities across the country. The fro yo family is growing fast, and in partnership with DC Strategy, Yo Way is looking for the right people to be part of it.
Swirl Into Something Sweet
The same thing that makes Yo Way great for customers is what makes it great for franchise partners.
The self-serve model keeps everything simple. Customers do the building, choosing their own flavours, loading up toppings and paying by weight. That means simpler operations, smaller teams and less time stuck in the back office. For franchise partners, that means a real work-life balance, not just the idea of one.
Then there is the product itself. Frozen yogurt is growing in popularity across Australia, and Yo Way sits right in the middle of it. A fun, healthier treat that people feel good about, with options for just about every dietary need. Yo Way also rotates flavours more frequently than competitors and regularly introduces new products, so customers have a reason to come back week after week. You do not have to chase them. They come to you.
Establishment costs start from $300,000 with low ongoing franchise fees, designed to help franchise partners become profitable faster. The model suits first-time business owners who want proper guidance and experienced operators looking to grow a portfolio.
Josh Z, a Yo Way franchisee, is already thinking about what comes next. "Yo Way is a financially sound franchise option with simple operations, meaning I can own and run several locations," he says.
Full Support From Day One
Behind Yo Way is the LPI Group, an Australian owned multi-brand franchise group with over 20 years of experience franchising entertainment brands locally and internationally.
That support is hands-on from the start. Franchisees receive in-person, in-store training before they open. From there, the team helps with everything from store fit-out and financial management to national marketing campaigns and local area strategies. There is always someone to call.
Being part of a national brand also means franchise partners benefit from national buying power, established brand awareness and a growing network of stores building recognition across the country.
And the culture of individuality that customers love about Yo Way carries through to the franchise model too. You get the structure and support of a national brand while running your business on your own terms.
"Being part of a franchise group whilst having the flexibility to run our own business is the perfect mix for us," say Joe and Zeina H, Yo Way franchisees.
Straight From the Fro Yo Family
The best read on any franchise is what the people already inside it have to say. At Yo Way, that feedback came early and it came strong.
Joe and Zeina H saw results within the first few days of opening. "We have achieved so much more than we imagined," they say.
For Nidhi and Nitin J, it was the whole package. "When we found Yo Way we instantly loved the brand, the product and especially the support of being part of a franchise group," they say. "Joining Yo Way was an easy decision for us and we are so glad we did!"
A Franchise We're Proud to Back
At DC Strategy, we are proud to support Yo Way. It brings together a product people keep coming back for, a simple operating model and a franchise group with the experience to back it up.
Frozen yogurt is a growing category in Australia and Yo Way is well placed to lead it. For people looking for a franchise opportunity with strong demand, a fun product and a business that fits around the life you want to live, Yo Way is worth a conversation.
