Summary
Frozen yogurt is experiencing a resurgence, but this time as a luxury product with bowls costing up to $30. Brands like Mimi's are attracting Generation Z with artisanal toppings, Instagram-worthy stores, and a health-conscious pitch. Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz is advising Mimi's, seeing parallels to how Starbucks elevated coffee. The trend focuses on premium ingredients like Italian-made pistachio sauce and creating a social hangout experience rather than the self-serve, low-cost fro-yo model of the past.
