Australian frozen yogurt brand Yo-Chi has officially opened its first United States location in Dallas. The shop began serving customers at its 5710 Lovers Lane site earlier this month.

The new Dallas store served 5,000 guests during its opening weekend of operations. This performance at 5710 Lovers Lane serves as the brand's primary U.S. metric after launching its international expansion.
