Menchie's Frozen Yogurt is an American frozen yogurt chain company founded in 2007, based in the San Fernando Valley, California area. Menchie's offers self-serve frozen yogurt with different choices of yogurt flavors and toppings.[1] Menchie's has 540 locations and can be found in the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada, the Bahamas, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.
The first store was opened in Los Angeles on May 15, 2007, by Adam and Danna Caldwell. The idea for a store originated from the couple's mutual love for yogurt. The name Menchie came from Adam's nickname for Danna, and it is also the name of their company's mascot.
