Yogurtland is preparing for its next opening in the Greater Houston region. According to a permit recently filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, the new Yogurtland is expected to open in the Heights Central Station at 1051 Heights Blvd. Suite 120.
“This opening is part of Yogurtland’s continued growth into new markets. We are excited to bring the brand to Houston and become part of the local community,” Operations Manager for Summit Row Ventures, LLC, Ben Cohen said in an interview with What Now Houston.
“We were drawn to the property and its fit with the surrounding community. We saw an opportunity to create a welcoming, family-friendly place where people can gather and enjoy a treat.”
Summit Row Ventures, LLC currently works with the brand. The plan is to open the new Yogurtland in the first quarter of 2027. A confirmed opening date will be announced as the date draws near.
“We hope to bring JOY to the neighborhood. Yogurtland gives families, friends and neighbors a welcoming place to gather and enjoy a treat together,” Cohen said.
“We plan to celebrate with a grand opening shortly after the store opens and will share details closer to the date.”
Entrepreneur Phillip Chang founded Yogurtland in February 2006 in Fullerton, California. Before Yogurtland, Chang and his wife, Michelle, founded Boba Loca, a Southern California boba tea chain. Chang launched the first Yogurtland location in Fullerton, pioneering a self-serve, pay-by-weight frozen yogurt model paired with a fresh fruit toppings bar.
The brand opened its first international location in the Middle East at the Dubai Mall in 2014. In 2016, Yogurtland collaborated with major entertainment and candy brands like Kung Fu Panda and Candy Crush, rolling out collectible character spoons and limited-edition flavors.
“Our menu features current signature flavors, such as Plain Tart, Cookies and Cream, and Birthday Cupcake Batter,” Cohen said.
“We also offer a rotating selection of frozen yogurt flavors, such as holiday-specific Lucky Irish Mint, Pumpkin Pie, or innovative No Sugar Added, Dairy-Free, and just-released Protein Chocolate flavor. All flavors are accompanied with toppings that let guests customize their cups. Another highlight is our collaborations with Disney, like we did for Toy Story 5 by having Cowboy Campfire S’mores and Space Ranger Berry Blast flavors.”
In 2020, the company launched its fast-casual concept, Holsom by Yogurtland, introduced plant-based options like oat milk flavors, and upgraded its mobile app and digital rewards program.
“Yogurtland is a place where guests can create a dessert that’s their own,” Cohen said.
“Our guests choose from a variety of frozen yogurt flavors and toppings, then build their cups themselves. We’re proud to serve frozen yogurt made with our proprietary recipes and we love seeing guests make Yogurtland part of their routines and traditions.
There are now more than 250 Yogurtland locations worldwide, with 216 in the United States. 15 of those locations are in Texas. The upcoming opening will be the fifth in the Greater Houston region.
“We’re looking forward to meeting our new neighbors and welcoming Houston to Yogurtland,” Cohen said.
“More details about the opening and grand-opening celebration will be shared as the date gets closer.”
