About

About TCBY

TCBY — which stands for The Country's Best Yogurt — was founded in 1981 in Little Rock, Arkansas by Frank D. Hickingbotham. The concept was built on a simple premise: serve delicious frozen yogurt that tasted indulgent but carried the nutritional benefits of real yogurt cultures. The first store was an immediate success, and TCBY grew rapidly throughout the 1980s to become one of the fastest-expanding franchise chains in American history, with thousands of locations at its peak.

TCBY pioneered the premium frozen yogurt category in the United States, introducing innovations like fat-free, low-fat, and no-sugar-added varieties long before health-conscious eating became mainstream. The brand's flagship product — its swirled soft serve — became iconic, recognizable by the characteristic twist atop a cone or cup. Over the decades TCBY expanded its menu beyond soft serve to include hand-scooped frozen yogurt, blended shivers, parfaits, banana splits, sundaes, and whole frozen yogurt cakes and pies for special occasions.

Today TCBY operates hundreds of locations across the United States, many co-branded alongside Mrs. Fields bakeries. The brand continues to emphasize variety and customization, offering dozens of rotating flavors including vegan dairy-free sorbets, no-sugar-added options, and gluten-friendly choices alongside a full topping bar. TCBY remains one of the most recognizable names in American frozen desserts, carrying more than four decades of heritage into a modern era that values both indulgence and better-for-you options.

Frequently asked questions

What does TCBY stand for?

TCBY stands for The Country's Best Yogurt. The chain was founded in 1981 in Little Rock, Arkansas by Frank D. Hickingbotham, who chose the name to emphasize the premium quality of his frozen yogurt over competing products.

Is TCBY frozen yogurt actually healthy?

TCBY frozen yogurt is generally lower in fat and calories than traditional ice cream, especially the fat-free and no-sugar-added varieties. Many flavors contain live and active yogurt cultures. However, portion size and toppings significantly affect the overall nutritional profile. TCBY offers detailed nutritional information for each flavor on its website.

Does TCBY have vegan or dairy-free options?

Yes. TCBY offers a range of dairy-free sorbets in soft serve form, including Mango, Orange, Pink Lemonade, Ruby Red Grapefruit, Strawberry Kiwi, and Watermelon. In the hand-scooped case, Dairy-Free Psychedelic Sorbet is available. These options are vegan and suitable for those avoiding dairy.

Does TCBY have gluten-free options?

Several of TCBY's dairy-free sorbets are considered gluten-free. However, cross-contamination can occur in stores that handle gluten-containing toppings like brownie bites, cookie dough, and Oreo pieces. Guests with celiac disease or serious gluten sensitivities should speak with store staff before ordering.

How much does TCBY cost?

TCBY prices vary by location, serving size, and any toppings added. A small soft serve typically costs around $3–$4, while a medium runs roughly $4–$5. Specialty treats like shivers and sundaes are generally in the $5–$7 range. Frozen yogurt cakes and pies for special occasions cost considerably more. Always confirm pricing with your local store, as no national price list is published.

What is a TCBY Shiver?

A Shiver is TCBY's signature blended treat — frozen yogurt swirled and blended together with your choice of toppings to create a smooth, thick, customized dessert. Think of it as TCBY's answer to a Blizzard or McFlurry. Popular combinations include cookies and cream, peanut butter cup, and strawberry cheesecake.
