Company Overviews

About Lovin' Spoons

When we began the journey that led to the founding of Lovin' Spoons, we were committed to a simple vision: provide the very best frozen yogurt and toppings available and pair them with a unique atmosphere that generates excitement. Prior to starting the company, we spent a year in yogurt shops across the country, equipping ourselves with the best practices that would ultimately become the foundation of our successful concept. With the groovy decade of the 1970′s near and dear to our heart, we knew this exciting era could be the natural inspiration for our unique and expressive brand and in-store experience. Our hometown of Savannah, GA, was a natural place to bring Lovin' Spoons to life, and the award-winning stores have been embraced by customers and the community beyond our wildest dreams. Unlike typical cookie cutter yogurt stores, our loyal guests have frequently noted that Lovin' Spoons stores truly have a soul. This is the ultimate compliment, and is a clear differentiator in the market. Our concept was built from the ground up to be a growing frozen yogurt franchise, and we are prepared to equip you with the tools and support you need to bring the Lovin' to your community. Join us as we look to expand the unique Lovin' Spoons frozen yogurt experience to customers across the country. We are eagerly seeking passionate and enthusiastic franchisees to join this groovy ride! Honorably discharged veterans receive $10,000 off of initial franchise fee of $25K.
