History

Established in 2010.

Aloha Yogurt was founded and built by two friends with the plan to create a place where people could sneak away to relax and just take a break from life's never ending stresses. After the two founders earned their degrees from Arizona State University and the University of San Diego it was time to move on to what most people refer to as "Real Life." Well "Real Life" for these guys meant becoming entrepreneurs, a chance to create a business using their own point of view, acquired knowledge, hard work and creativity as their tools to success. The two worked day in and day out with the help of close friends to design and build every aspect of the shop from the tile floor up to the insulation in the drop ceiling. They wanted to make sure that customers could see the quality in their work and get a sense of the time and effort that had been put into their yogurt shop and products in order to separate it from others of the same self-serve concept... Welcome to Aloha Yogurt!

Whit H.

Business Owner

I grew up in the ski town of Sun Valley, Idaho and was an avid outdoor sports fan.  My passions included skiing, mountain biking, hunting, and water sports. Knowing some day I would actually have to grow up and that I always wanted to pursue a career in marketing I moved to Tempe and attended ASU. After finishing college I took my restaurant experience and business degree to the next level by opening Aloha Yogurt in January 2010. I wanted to give Tempe a local frozen shop as an alternative to the big chains that have been popping up around town. By being a local shop I knew I could focus on the quality of my flavors and toppings by making them fresh and from scratch. I also take suggestions/requests from customers to widen my selection to fill everyone's sweet tooth. Since I opened the shop the brand has grown stronger with word of mouth from loyal customers and I have come to really enjoy the career path of an entrepreneur. I hope you stop by and enjoy a bowl of delicious froyo!
