About Yolé

Yolé brings you to the new era of ice cream and frozen yoghurt; a new way of making and eating a better, healthier dessert without compromising on the taste for the calories. This is what makes it unique.

Yolé has over 50 locations in 10 countries (and growing fast). Its current range of products is the first of its kind to offer vegetarian, no added sugar, frozen yoghurt and ice cream and has developed the first bubble waffle and frappé in which you will find not a single gram of sugar. Since arriving in the UK, Yolé has gone from strength to strength and opened its fifth store in as many months.

The food franchise is constantly working on research and development, looking for new flavours and products – healthy bubble tea, crepes, waffles all coming soon. The aim of its range of ice cream is to catch the healthy trend and transform an impulsive consumption product like ice creams into a guilt-free product. Opening a Yolé franchise means starting the business with uncompromising quality, an excellent team and a revolutionary brand that invests in innovative and friendly-environment stores like never seen before.

Yolé is here to change the dessert industry’s landscape with an innovative product and an overwhelming offer of options for the consumer and the investor. Yolé launches an ambitious expansion plan worldwide – a low investment with a high and fast profitability model with no sugar added frozen desserts that compete in flavour with sugar added leading brands.

How does the Yolé franchise model work?

With Yolé, you buy into a complete turnkey solution. From the day you join, its experts are on hand to guide you every step of the way, from site sourcing, on-site training, recruitment to the grand launch of your store.

Yolé offers a variety of outlets starting with a low-cost food truck model, kiosks in shopping centres to complete restaurant units with seating.

As a franchise owner, you can create your own outlet concept that suits your budget and investment, from an affordable kiosk to a premium look and feel. They are customisable to every need, available space and predicted footfall.

The food franchise is an environmentally-conscious brand, and it believes that sustainability is key to success. Hence, its outlets are built by Sonae Arauco (PEFC certified), which has a clear mission: low waste, low impact and environmentally friendly procedures.

How much does a Yolé franchise cost?

Yolé offers three types of outlets.

1. Food truck which can cost as little as £40,000 to open and operate: The food trucks are completely portable and can be moved around from location to location. These are great to have at sporting events, festivals, entertainment parks or retail parks. Having Yolé food trucks at any of these locations gives the franchisees an opportunity to capitalise on those one-off events by moving the truck to the desired location to take advantage of the footfall and sales.

2. Kiosks: These are simple units and take around two days to put together, making them a very cost-effective investment for franchisees. With minimal seating, this is great to be in busy shopping centres where customers can grab and go while shopping in the malls. A typical kiosk can cost from around £60,000 to £90,000.

3. Stores can cost anything from £100,000 to £200,000 depending on size and location: Yolé stores give customers the opportunity to enjoy the full Yolé experience. Stores are designed with the environment in mind; ensuring all the material is ethically sourced and environmentally friendly. Yolé is committed to making a difference to the planet by providing customers with the healthiest dessert options with super low calories.

Yolé expects franchisees to have the capacity to go beyond a single site due to high profitability. Some of its most successful franchisees have seen a return on investments as soon as nine months. With low operating costs due to a simplified model, efficiently sourced goods make Yolé a very lucrative brand to invest in.
