Self-service frozen yogurt chain Tutti Frutti plans to open its first outlet in Thailand before the year ends.

Its Malaysian master franchisee Naza Tutti Frutti Sdn Bhd will spearhead the chain’s expansion into Thailand, with plans to open five outlets over the next two years.

“We are confident with Thailand – and if you look at Bangkok – its population is more than Kuala Lumpur and recently a shop opened a local froyo outlet at a popular shopping complex and the response was extraordinary,” said Naza Tutti Frutti Sdn Bhd MD Izham Hakimi Hamdi.

Naza Tutti Frutti operates 105 outlets in Malaysia, where it plans to open more outlets, three in Singapore and two each in Cambodia and Brunei.
