After serving more than 100,000 bowls at its Notting Hill debut, the Australian brand is preparing a second UK location in Clapham.
- Australian frozen yoghurt chain Yo-Chi expands to Clapham, London.
- New venue offers 60 indoor and 30 outdoor seats, with unique decor by Coco Thomas.
- Yo-Chi’s pay-by-weight model features ten yoghurt flavors and over 30 toppings.
Yo-Chi is taking its Australian frozen-yogurt concept to another part of London. The Melbourne-founded brand has confirmed plans for a second UK location in Clapham, following the strong reception of its first European venue at Notting Hill Gate, which opened in August. The new shop will occupy 1,850 square feet at 40–48 Bromell’s Road, extending the brand’s presence into a neighborhood with a sizable Australian expatriate community.
The Clapham location will follow Yo-Chi’s self-serve, pay-by-weight format. Customers will be able to choose from 10 signature frozen-yogurt flavors and real açaí, then customize their bowls with more than 30 toppings, including fresh fruit, chocolate chunk cookie cake and mini mochi. The venue is designed to accommodate 60 guests indoors and another 30 outside, giving it room to serve both quick visits and longer social gatherings.
Its interior will carry several of the elements associated with the brand, including a mirrored feature wall, a signature disco ball and a DJ booth. Bespoke mural artwork by Coco Thomas will add a local creative touch. Yo-Chi also intends to position the venue as an alcohol-free social option in an area known for its pubs and bars, appealing to young professionals, families and residents looking for a different kind of neighborhood gathering place.
The expansion follows a strong start in Notting Hill. Since opening, the first UK location has served more than 100,000 bowls, with its Signature Tart flavor emerging as the most popular choice. Co-owner and chief brand officer Oliver Allis has described Clapham as a natural next step, pointing to its Australian community and the opportunity to bring the brand closer to customers who already know it. Local awareness and ongoing customer engagement will be important as the business enters the new neighborhood. For franchise operators pursuing similar growth, the Social Media feature available through Gorilla Dash offers a way to coordinate communication and maintain visibility across locations.
Founded in Melbourne in 2012, Yo-Chi has grown to more than 82 venues across Australia, expanding from four locations in 2020. Its international presence also includes sites in the United States, Singapore and Thailand. The Clapham opening will mark another step in its UK development, although the company has not yet confirmed an exact opening date.
