The first TCBY was in Little Rock, Arkansas. In 1982, they began franchising. By 1984, TCBY had over 100 stores.
Before 1984, the original name of the company was This Can't Be Yogurt. However, a competitor, I Can't Believe it's Yogurt, forced TCBY to change its name from its initials. TCBY picked "The Country's Best Yogurt".[2]
TCBY offers frozen yogurt in a variety of flavors. These flavors include Chocolate, White Chocolate Mousse and Golden Vanilla. TCBY also offers drinks, including smoothes and Frappe Chillers.
