Yolo Frozen Yogurt
Yolo Frozen Yogurt: Locally Born, Locally Raised
Yolo Frozen Yogurt is a Memphis, Tennessee tradition. Yolo is a truly unique frozen yogurt business that is also a neighborhood business and gathering place. They were the very first frozen yogurt shop in Memphis and today they are also the first shop to feature handmade Italian gelato. They are finally ready to share these fabulous treats by expanding their operations into other areas of Tennessee, as well as Kentucky, North Carolina and Arkansas.
They are also a certified sustainable “green” business, by the non-profit organization, Project Green Fork. This is accomplished through efforts to recycle, reduce waste and limit pollution. This is an important concern for businesses to be involved in these days of excessive waste and pollution.
Yolo Frozen Yogurt shop takes its toppings and flavorings from local sources. The shop uses only locally grown fruits, and locally made candies and baked goods. This means their toppings are seasonal and always changing and are gathered from over a dozen other locally owned business sources, making Yolo a community supporter for other small businesses in their area of operation. The toppings come in cookie, candy and cereal, as well as fruit, nuts and honey. Add to this, the many baked goods flavor bites, and you have a fabulous menu of toppings from which to choose.
The Yolo Frozen Yogurt Shop not only serves yogurt and gelato, they have expanded to baked goods, as well. Pie tarts, cupcakes, cookies, pop tarts and petit fours to die for; in so many flavors that it has to be seen to be believed. These come in the many Southern flavors of pecan, peanut butter and jelly, espresso, peanut butter, pumpkin, sweet potato, key lime, and many more. The Italian gelato comes in succulent flavors like biscotti, coffee, almond, chocolate, cheesecake, and mascarpone.
Yolo also offers event catering for groups of 50 or more. They will bring their equipment and supplies directly to your venue and serve your guests fresh frozen yogurt desserts and baked goods. Another option is their mobile yogurt shop which is extremely convenient for large parties and outdoor venues. A third choice is available for small events serving less than 50 people, such as birthday parties, is to simply call in your order and then pick it up, or Yolo will deliver it directly to your location.
Yolo’s commitment to using local sources such as bakers, farmers and other vendors has promoted a tight-knit community network of businesses, which rely on one another on a daily basis. There are very few places these days where business is conducted in this manner. It provides community and local business support, as well as promoting the talent and artistry of the local culinary culture. Yolo’s affiliated vendors are always advertised on their website and promoted from their store locations. They are also avid supporters of local shares which is a non-profit organization that raises money for various charitable causes.
All of this, and Yolo Frozen Yogurt presents a delightful selection of sensations for the taste buds that you will not soon forget.
