Background
The total global retail value for Yogurt has reached $78 billion and it is growing as there is strong consumer demand for dairy products that help promote a healthy lifestyle (Johnson, 2017). The U.S yogurt market is also competitive where “the U.S. consumption of yogurt per person grew 645 percent from 1980 through 2013, as tracked by the U.S. Department of Agriculture” (Schafer, 2017). According to Statista, yogurt sales in the U.S has increased to $7.7 billion in 2015, which previously the figure used to be $6.2 billion in 2010. Companies that dominate the U.S yogurt market currently are Dannone, Chobani LLC and General Mills.
Yoplait who used to be the country’s leading brand, has been surpassed in the US yogurt market by privately-owned Greek yogurt maker Chobani, with Dannon representing the top yogurt brand in the US with a 34% market share (Shoup 2017). Yoplait is originally from France and General Mills held the US license for Yoplait since the 1970s and it acquired a 51% stake in the brand in 2011, but its share of the yogurt market has fallen by almost 25% in the past five years (Schafer, 2017).

When they introduced Yoplait Greek, many consumers did not satisfy with the line and decide to buy the real Greek yogurt, Chobani. This is because according to Giammona on Bloomberg, most of big food companies suffer from a lack of culinary distinction when try to match competitors’ fashionable new products (2017). Therefore, Yoplait has to produce a new product that is distinct to the competitors. For example, as Yoplait is originally from French and has been in the market for more than 30 decades, General Mills might produce a traditional French-style of yogurt. They can study and figure back the original formula as they once who brought the best yogurt to the
In order to right the ship that is America’s food industry, we need to recognize the monopolies in the U.S food industry. These massive food conglomerates must be broken up in order to create competition in the market. This will allow the completion to dictate the market. More companies means more competition, and when companies compete, the consumer wins.
While many pass by the dairy aisle thinking nothing of the stories behind products, yogurt is such a product that has been experimented commercially in what is now a battle between the bacteria. Activia and Yoplait are two players in a grander battle of gaining consumer interest. Both the Activia and Go-Gurt commercials differ in the details of their approach, yet both stray away from
Everyone is looking for better and healthier life! People today pay more and more attention to the food they eat, they want it to be healthy and tasty, on the other side modern life is so dynamic and eventful, that the food must be fast. So you need to come up with something that will support all these needs. The great solution is Frozen Yogurt. It is a refreshing, savory dessert that combines the flavors and textures of ice cream and sherbet. Frozen yogurt is a new-comer in the dessert market. Nevertheless, “the history of frozen desserts dates back thousands of years to Asia where water ices were first made.’’ (wiki) Yogurt was brought to the U.S. in the early 1900s and steadily increased in popularity as a health food item over the next several decades. By the 1970s, with the popularity of ice cream technology was transferred to the production of frozen yogurt. But it’s entry into the dessert market was a distinct failure—consumers complained that it tasted too much like yogurt. Relaying on consumer demand for a sweet product that tasted like ice cream, TCBY opened its first store in 1981. The highest popularity comes to Fro-yo by the mid 1990s. But in the late 1990s as Americans turned their attention to high-protein, high-fat diets, demand for frozen yogurt slowed considerably. Low-fat foods such as frozen yogurt fell out of favor as food trends preferred higher fat and lower cost ice cream at the turn of the millennium. Trends changed back to frozen yogurt in the mid 2000s with the advent of live probiotic powder-based mixes. Over the last decade the production of frozen yogurt has grown multi-million dollar business with dozens of competing companies.
..., it is possible to not become caught up in the consumption craze and in the event that a sentient yogurt comes from underground, it wouldn’t reach the level of disaster shown in the movie.
TCBY has been a frozen treats product innovator from the day its first shop opened in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1981. The great-tasting, low-fat frozen yogurt concept received an enthusiastic response from an increasingly health-conscious public. Its trendy new product propelled the company to the forefront of franchising, and was the ‘first in a long line of ground-breaking menu items that anticipated consumer preferences and continually refreshed the TCBY concept’ (Conlin 2001, p. 133). But TCBY products are just one of the reasons that thousands of operators have concluded that a TCBY franchise is the preferred opportunity in branded frozen treats, and a dynamic partner in any co-branded concept. However, TCBY is facing a lot of problems, both internal and external, during the difficult period from the late 1980s to the early 1990s, especially the problem with its franchising system. The purpose of this report is to provide a comprehensive situation analysis of TCBY, with special reference to its franchising system, and identify several concerned issues of TCBY and its franchisees, and how these issues have negatively affected the relationship between them. Furthermore, this report also provides three recommendations in the attempt to diminish these concerned issues and better maintain the relationship between TCBY and its franchisees, and most importantly, help TCBY to increase the company’s performance and achieve their strategic goals in the next few years.

Additionally, with women representing 70% of yogurt consumers – and mothers being the dominant purchasers of foods for children – mothers will likely want to buy healthy, all-natural yogurt for their children and will want to buy the children’s multi-packs.

With the organic foods market projected to grow, this strategy positions Natureview to become the national leader of organic dairy products and meet its financial goals.
If you bought a smoothie recently you may have been shocked at the price. Jamba Juice is a well-known smoothie chain, and it strives in promoting a healthy living style. When you bought this smoothie you maybe thought you were paying for the health benefits or quality. But that isn’t true, you were paying for the product and materials that went into serving that smoothie. Jamba Juice was simple back in 2008, only serving smoothies, but began a strategic move to transform. Consumers wanted more than something they can drink, they wanted food too. Jamba’s mission to transform began and the prices changed with it. By 2014, Jamba Juice began serving fresh juices, whole food smoothies, nutritional smoothies and food items (“Jamba Juice,” n.d.). But why did smoothie prices have to change? Well, many factors contribute to the cause.
The low-calorie, high-intensity sweetener market has been dominated by one major player, NutraSweet, with annual sales of $711M and about 80% market share (the total market in 1986 was $884M annual sales). NutraSweet, a monopolist in the industry, was able to charge premium prices and successfully capture the majority of the pie. Also, the market was expected to grow 15% annually, with a 70% projected sales growth in Europe and Canada. However, since NutraSweet’s original patents were due to expire soon (Europe/Canada market patent expires in 1987 and US in 1992), a new entrant was threatening to enter the lucrative low-calorie sweetener market – HSC.
The European Vice President of United Cereal (UC), Lora Brill, is confronted by a dilemma: to launch a new product called Healthy Berry Crunch as the first ‘Eurobrand’ or not. A wrong decision may destroy her career, especially since Healthy Berry Crunch is not only a new concept of healthy cereal, but also a pioneer of United Cereal’s Eurobrand, which is different from the company’s usual standards. On the other hand, if she makes the right decision, she may be able to grow the company to a whole new level.
