Dining · 72+ locations · US (half in California); reduced international footprint
Pinkberry ignited the 2000s froyo craze. The founders are long gone, and it's now a small brand inside MTY Food Group's 85-brand portfolio, which put itself up for sale in 2025, with its footprint a fraction of its peak.
The Big Picture
Pinkberry is what's left after the froyo bubble: the brand that started the craze, sold twice, absorbed into MTY Food Group's 85-brand portfolio, and contracted from 260+ locations to about 72 in the US. The labor record carries a 2014 case where a Connecticut franchisee withheld up to $20,000 in wages and illegally employed minors, and franchise-fragmented pay means standards vary shop to shop. With MTY exploring a sale of the whole company since late 2025, Pinkberry answers to a conglomerate that may itself soon answer to someone new.
