Your Journey To Ownership
Step-by-Step, We've Got Your Back
Becoming a Cuppa Yo franchisee is simple, supported, and structured for success. Here’s what it looks like:
I cannot say enough about the Cuppa Yo franchise and how thankful my husband and I are to have had an opportunity to own a Cuppa Yo and work with Keith and Crystal. From day one, it was clear Keith and Crystal are so passionate and hard working. They were there with us from day one full of encouragement, wisdom and insight. They made the path so simple and always made it clear they were there for us at any time. Their insight on everything from troubleshooting the yogurt machines to how to handle a paper gift card through the Square system to keeping our employees safe was solid and helpful and timely. As for the franchise itself, it is such a fun brand. Between the colors, toppings, cups and through to the color changing spoons, it is fun and vibrant. My husband and I both believe that Keith and Crystal have created something so special and unique with this franchise. We highly recommend it.

Owning a Cuppa Yo has been an incredible experience for us. It’s helped us become a true part of our community, creating a welcoming third space where families and friends gather to spend quality time together. Professionally, it’s given us the opportunity to step into business ownership with the support of mentors who genuinely want us to succeed. Their guidance through the start-up and growth process has been invaluable. Thanks to that support — and everything we've learned along the way — we feel confident and prepared to take on whatever challenges come our way.
