Kota kemuning branch also close alrady, and it is less than a year.

Think more will be closing down as i see many branches are kinda empty.

They open too many store without full study on the location and crowd. I think they got better chance if open at shopping mall.

franchisee lose big money...the one gaining the most? only the franchisor with the franchise fee and setup fee got mark up kaw kaw.. we live in a brutal world...

Baru ingat nak try tak jadi lah haha

Tutti fruiti in Cyberjaya Domain still open...but when i see i always no ppl the most is 1 or 2 ppl.....maybe the rental is cheap so they can cover cost n survive....this kinda business no repeat customer....sekali makan kena charge rm20++ i trus ban this tutti fruiti for life lol....

i duno how profitable the franchisee can get, but im damn sure the franchiser is the one getting most profit. Depends on the calculation, how many years u need to work for franchiser to get back your capital only then your ROI. Infact, if calculated wrongly and business is no good, you are PAYING money to other people and still working for them. Worse than working for people if u know what i mean. Double death trap.

Even if rental is cheap, also has limit. I dont think the owner gona rent cheapy to them. Btw, I dont eat these kinda kids snacks.

in my opinion this brand still not quite famous in mallaysia

Seriouly, if ur friend only open 1 tutti frutti, i dun think it can make good money for him/her.
but if your friend own quite many , then different talk.

so fast change biz already??? Instead of promoting snogurt in your sig....now change to herbalife pulak??

sunway pyramid also gone dee!

Snogurt lets franchisor do the marketing this is my own biz

It's not a good business. Or we say not profitable. High rental fees, staff salary.. Bla bla bla..

1 by 1 TF outlet closed shop

I don't think so.is not delicious at all.sorry if offense.

This F & B ... trendy one are quite risky. the earnings are not stable as ppl try once, wont kept coming to eat again and again.

Many people will come try, thus the sales for first 3-4months usually higher.

Our bubble tea also record the exact same trend in all the places we open. High sales at beginning, then gets lower.

The biz is slowing down and heard my hometown one is almost want close down.. Rumuor starts

Moo Moo Cow a better alternative. Taste better. TF a little bit sour and price more expensive.

over priced !

Ice cream has a bigger profit margin than frozen yoghurt. Frozen yoghurt uses a machine that is gravity fed, therefore the over run (air in the product) is only 30 to 40 %. Ice cream machines use an air pump and the over run can be as high as 100%. I own a fro yo store non franchise.We invite anybody to place their $6 ice cream cups on our scales and they are amazed when the cost shows at around $4.50. They are paying for AIR!!!! So weigh and pay is a fairer way to go, you just have to be sensible with your portions. I am not knocking ice cream because the air is part of what makes the ice cream fluffy, it is just a different product from frozen yoghurt.
I worked with ice cream for 10 years before selling frozen yoghurt and much prefer the yoghurt, as we use a liquid mix (most ice creams and yoghurts are powder mixes with water or milk added). I dont eat icecream any more!!
A tutti frutti licence for one store costs $25000 US in most countries, I dont know the cost in Malaysa but the master licence was about $3000000 US.
If you have the knowledge it is easy to set your own store up, all you need is the topping, mix and packaging suppliers, and choose good quality machines.

Cheers guys

A reason why frozen yogurt has lower over run is because it doesn't have enough protein molecules to support more air bubble. If ice cream is sold by weight, for the same weight, ice cream will need a bigger cup.

Proper ice cream has minimum 10% milk fat vs less than 2% for frozen yogurt, ingredients cost of frozen yogurt is cheaper than ice cream by weight.

Likewise, ice cream is available as liquid mix, and frozen yogurt as powder mix (for mixing with water or skimmed milk). Apart from idiot proof and factory pre-mixed consistency, liquid mix doesn't offer additional benefit. Reasons why liquid mix is more expensive are more expensive to transport (refrigerated) and blending cost at factory.

Like low fat ice cream, frozen yogurt contents a lot more sugar than traditional ice cream.
