The all-vegan frozen yogurt shop expands to Granada Hills.

Yoga-urt, LA’s beloved destination for organic, plant-based soft serve, just announced the grand opening of its newest storefront in Granada Hills. This location on Chatsworth Street marks Yoga-urt’s fourth storefront and the first franchisee-owned store. Yoga-urt Granada Hills will begin serving its made-from-scratch, dairy-free frozen yogurt treats on Saturday, August 3.

A New Location with Community Ties

Led by former tech industry product manager Andrea Castillo and her business partners Jonathan Quiros and Diego Castillo, the new location is situated in the MODERNO La Granada mixed-use development. Adorned with Yoga-urt’s signature heart mural by Cloe Hakakian, the store will feature six rotating creamy and vibrant flavors. To welcome the community, Yoga-urt Granada Hills will offer free minis with one topping to the first 50 visitors, two dollars off all birthday cake shakes, and limited-time mini popsicles.

Castillo said, “As a proud Granada Hills resident, I am overjoyed to bring a delicious product to our neighborhood. I feel grateful for the opportunity to offer the Granada Hills community a peaceful and communal space where they can indulge in Yoga-urt’s better-for-you selection of wholesome and authentically crafted soft-serve.”

Serving the Los Angeles Area Since 2015

Since 2015, Yoga-urt, founded by Melissa Schulman, has delighted Angelenos with its creamy and plant-powered soft serve. Each serving is made onsite in small batches from hand-squeezed almonds and cashews, infused with premium wholesome ingredients, and enriched with probiotics. This results in a healthier, allergy-friendly treat free from artificial flavors, sweeteners, and preservatives.

Schulman, reflecting on her roots, said, “Having attended Granada Hills High School and CSUN, I am thrilled to experience this full-circle moment with the opening of the newest Yoga-urt so close to where I grew up. I’ve always dreamt of having multiple Yoga-urt locations and franchising is the best way to expand. I aim to help other like-minded entrepreneurs to own their own business and in turn, give people outside of Los Angeles the possibility of experiencing our delicious plant-based frozen yogurt treat.”
