Generation NEXT Franchise Brands partners with Dannon YoCream

US-based Generation NEXT Franchise Brands has partnered with frozen yoghurt maker Dannon YoCream, which is Generation NEXT’s flagship franchise concept.

Based in San Diego, California, Generation NEXT Franchise Brands is a parent company of Reis and Irvy’s, which is claimed to be the world’s first robotic frozen yoghurt vending kiosk.

As part of the new agreement, Dannon YoCream will be a primary supplier of all frozen dessert available within the Reis and Irvy’s Froyo Robots that includes a wide assortment of frozen yoghurts, sorbets, and gelatos.

The robotic vending machines will be placed at various locations across the US and will offer seven different flavours of frozen yoghurt and a selection of six custom toppings, all at the point of sale and within 60 seconds.

Reis and Irvy’s plans to install these machines at nearly 500 locations through pre-sold franchise agreements in the first half of this year.

Generation Next Franchise Brands chairman Nick Yates said: “Dannon has decades of experience, premium quality, and an assortment of consumables that allow us to offer a diverse range of products to our Reis and Irvy’s customers.

“For over 40 years, Dannon has been at the forefront of innovation and on-trend flavour profiles crafted to create memorable customer experiences, which is exactly what our robots plan on achieving.”
