We had one TCBY not too far from here (about 2 miles or so)but all of a sudden, when I drove the 20 miles to a store today, i saw like, 5, at least 3 of which were different chains and none of which were TCBY. Its crazy! erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01368698456119232421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251891826295969285.post-18102534311954778392013-01-18T11:56:23.000-05:002013-01-18T11:56:23.000-05:00I didn't hear anything past frozen yogurt.

Three years ago it was dinner prep shops (dream dinner, entrees made easy, etc). Now there is one left on our side of town.

One block.<br /><br />I think part of it has to be that these shops are SUPER low overhead, so it's a low-cost business to enter. But you'd think that these budding yogurt entrepreneurs would recognize that 8 storefronts away from the next-closest yogurt shop is perhaps not an ideal business location. pseudostoopshttp://pseudostoops.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251891826295969285.post-18504222809098686742013-01-18T08:46:01.230-05:002013-01-18T08:46:01.230-05:00I'm afraid I may be contributing to the trend....I'm afraid I may be contributing to the trend. In a moment of desperation, I promised my 3 year old if he can go a week without potty accidents (previous record was 5 days) we will go to the "ice cream store" which is really the self serve frozen yogurt store. Tomorrow will be 3 weeks without an accident and he talks constantly about coloring in his chart so we can go to the ice cream store.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10057045090834368319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251891826295969285.post-3668322882314496222013-01-18T08:27:07.762-05:002013-01-18T08:27:07.762-05:00Not happening that I know of here in Michigan, but...Not happening that I know of here in Michigan, but your post brought the line "Now all restaurants are Taco Bell" to mind.<br /><br />Remember that movie?...<br /><br />Sleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06874500324625773114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251891826295969285.post-47212229906160032013-01-18T06:00:14.343-05:002013-01-18T06:00:14.343-05:00I have not yet seen yogurt shops, but we are havin...I have not yet seen yogurt shops, but we are having a similar issue with doughnut shops. When recently a child wanted a doughnut cake for his birthday, and he had very specific (but common) doughnut types he wanted, and inexplicably one doughnut shop after another had one type but not the others, I was able to easily go to FOUR different shops within just a few miles.Swistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13126937282657655091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251891826295969285.post-39040471123928092852013-01-18T01:12:57.711-05:002013-01-18T01:12:57.711-05:00Yes, it is also happening here in Portland, OR.

Apparently everyone else must be eating great quantities of the stuff to keep them all in business. <br /><br />I really *want* to try it, but I never seem to think of it. If I want ice cream-ish stuff I go to Dairy Queen. (Of which there are also several by me.)Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16261907052119379241noreply@blogger.com
