14. Yeah. I remember the frozen yogurt boom.

Stores on every corner, everybody was going to own a TCBY. Then, poof, like Keizer Sosa, gone.

Now they are back. I guess the current generation of suckers didn't see the last boom go bust.

Seems like the only ice cream/yogurt stores that survive around here are the old time mom and pop operations in run down old stand alone buildings that the most likely own outright. It's a tuff nut to crack 10k a month in rent around here.

There was a cold stone creamery here that went belly up. There were lines out the door ..... In the summer.
