Analysis by IBISWorld named Pinkberry, Menchie's, Red Mango, and Sweet Frog the top frozen yogurt purveyors — with an estimated 50 percent of market share in 2013. There are as many Menchie's in California as there are in Florida. There are more Red Mango locations in Colorado than California. There are no Sweet Frogs in Los Angeles.
