The original frozen yogurt brand celebrates 45 years with anniversary-themed experiences, special promotions and a summer long-celebration of the brand's legacy

NEW YORK, July 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TCBY^®, one of the nation's original and most iconic frozen yogurt brands, is celebrating 45 years of serving delicious frozen yogurt and creating meaningful moments for families, friends and communities across the country. As part of the celebration, TCBY will feature special flavors and promotions all summer long, honoring the brand's legacy as America's favorite community gathering place.

Founded in 1981, TCBY helped introduce frozen yogurt across America and has spent more than four decades bringing people together over a shared treat. To mark the milestone anniversary, the brand is launching a summer-long celebration featuring retro-inspired in-store décor, throwback branding, special flavors and anniversary activations to pay tribute to the decade that started it all. Throughout July and August, loyalty members will have access to exclusive limited time offers and promotions.

Centered around the theme, "The Original Social Network," the anniversary campaign celebrates what TCBY has always represented: community, connection, quality, and real-life shared experiences. The campaign highlights how TCBY continues to serve as the ultimate hub for genuine connection, inviting guests to "come together" and create new memories over their favorite swirls.

"While a lot has changed since 1981, the joy of celebrating life's big and little moments with the ones who matter the most hasn't," said Rich Screnci, Executive Director of Famous Brands International. "For 45 years, TCBY has been more than a place to enjoy frozen yogurt. We've been a place where friends meet after school, families celebrate milestones, first dates happen, and lifelong memories are made. This anniversary is an opportunity to celebrate those moments and thank the guests, franchisees, and communities who have been part of our story."

TCBY will commemorate its 45th anniversary by sharing stories from longtime franchisees, team members and guests whose lives have been intertwined with the brand's history. As part of the celebration, select guests who have shared their TCBY memories with the brand over the years will receive surprise 45th anniversary swag packages as a thank-you for being part of the journey. The celebration will also highlight the evolution of TCBY over the decades while honoring the values that have remained constant since day one: quality products, welcoming environments, and meaningful human connection.
