Brand New $6,999 Machines Make Yogurt Store Openings Easier For Small Entrepreneurs

Duc Nguyen, the founder of the Phoenix based Yollipop frozen yogurt, is now supplying a key component to any successful frozen yogurt store. The business-in-a-box consists of a frozen yogurt machine that produces 10 gallons of yogurt per hour at a fraction of traditional frozen yogurt machine start up costs. Since Mr. Nguyen has locked down barebones pricing on the machines -- built in China -- he is able to offer them to "would be" and "existing" Yogurt Store owners for a greatly reduced price and for a hard-to-pass-up value.
The frozen yogurt machine really is the heartbeat of the entire frozen Yogurt business, according to Mr. Nguyen. "Normally these machines run about 10-16k for most people," Nguyen explains. "But thanks to my overseas connections, I am able to happily supply them for fraction of that price, reduced for an amazing value at only $6,999.It gives the small guy a chance to get up and going and put that extra money he saves into marketing to get those Yogurt lovers in his store."
The frozen yogurt machines are rebranded to be marketed in the USA under the name Discount Yogurt Machine exclusively offered by Yollipop Frozen Treats. They come with a powerful Aspera (Italy) compressor and a Danfoss (Denmark) expansion valve with a digital display and an easy-to-operate interface. The machines are backed by a powerful one year warranty and are ETL listed for USA compliance. "The number one reason that a prospective yogurt shop does not open up in an area is cost. My vision was to provide a modernized machine at nearly half the start up cost. I know this business and when you have a machine that can produce up to 150 cups of yogurt per hour, you have a chance to make a great profit" Continues Nguyen.
Since the machines are only rated at 115 volts, they also are very energy efficient, according to Nguyen. "Most of our competitors, like Taylor, use 220V, which requires much more power to operate," Nguyen says. "But if you open a new yogurt store with eight yogurt machines, then you would have to bring in additional electrical (200AMP), and the cost of that would range anywhere from $5,000 to $15,000." He further adds, "The monthly electricity bill is also a big difference. In Arizona, my November electricity bill was only $280, which is low when compared to $1600 (per month) with a Taylor machine."
Maintenance on the machine is low, and the operating costs are feasible for any small business owner. Since the cost of each portion of Yogurt served in the store is based upon weight, the actual serving size and final price is determined by the customer, adding even more versatility for those seeking to break into the ever growing frozen yogurt business.
Nguyen is currently offering the machines for a vast savings off their listed wholesale prices, at $6,999. When compared to what Competitors are charging for the same thing, at a price that ranges from $10,000 - $16,000, the value is easy to see. Additionally, there is no sales tax added to the price of his frozen yogurt machines, saving small business proprietors even more money. And delivery only takes 30-45 days, from factory to storefront.
Nguyen further states "For $6999, people used to have to go with a used machine. Used machines are very expensive to maintain. Every time they break down, it's hundreds to thousands of dollars to repair. Why deal with this while you can buy a brand new machine for $6999 with warranty as peace of mind."
With savings and startup costs in mind, Nguyen offers his take on the low price of his frozen yogurt machines. "If you can save, an average, $7,000 a machine -- that would be $56,000 for eight machines to start a business... so why give up your profits before you even open the doors? What a lot of people don't realize is that you will need a few of these machines to get their businesses going. Bought well is half sold."
The grand opening of Nguyen's Yollipop store was a roaring success, and really serves as a testament to the high potential for any future stores that Nguyen -- or other interested entrepreneurs -- plans to open. Yollipop celebrated its grand opening on November 16, 2010 at its Phoenix, Arizona location, where he served over a thousand cups of Yogurt in 4 hours. As to the business opportunity that future locations will offer, for both him and any persons interested in purchasing the machines for a discount that plan on opening up their own frozen yogurt stores, Nguyen adds a hearty closing statement. "Yogurt will always be an affordable family gathering that's tasty and fun," he says. "I offer these quality machines at a fraction of the price, which allows other small businesses -- or interested future owners -- across the country to setup their very own frozen yogurt store. Essentially, it could be compared to a business-in-a-box."
Frozen Yogurt is a part of the frozen dessert industry, which generates more than $20 billion in annual revenues in the United States. Yogurt has become such a popular choice in snacking that thousands are popping up each year.
