Llaollao (pronounced as yao-yao) is a Spanish frozen yogurt franchise brand founded in Denia in the province of Alicante, Spain.[1] As of March 2016, Llaollao is present in more than 180 establishments in 33 countries worldwide including several countries in Europe and Latin America, Singapore, China, Russia, Cambodia, Malaysia and Indonesia.[2]

History

In 2009, Pedro Espinosa left his job at British Petroleum to continue his family's business tradition in the world of gastronomy and opened the first Llaollao outlet.[3] A year later, he expanded the business based on the franchising model. Currently, the company that incorporates healthy values (a medium-sized tub contains 46% of the Calcium Recommended Daily Allowance)[4] and a fresh image, is a leader among its competitors.[5] Singapore's Prime Minister, Lee Hsien Loong following his official visit to Madrid where he met Spain's King Felipe VI once referenced Llaollao and Zara as popular brands amongst around 200 Spanish companies present in Singapore.[6] By July 2015, Llaollao had generated a total of 1,000 jobs during the five years that have passed since it launched its franchise model to the market.[7] Llaollao opened its biggest outlet in the world in August 2015 at Suntec City, Singapore.[8] Beginning 2016, Llaollao will commence a 70 outlet expansion in Japan.[9]

Products

Llaollao is natural frozen yogurt made from skimmed milk and combined with a choice of toppings from freshly-chopped seasonal fruits to cereals, crunchy toppings and a selection of sauces.[10] Llaollao's signature offering is the Sanum which is essentially a yogurt parfait with fresh fruits of choice, granola or crushed biscuits drizzled with sauce.[11] In July 2015, Llaollao enlarged its menu and included products allowed for gluten intolerants such as green apple and passion fruit sauces as well as chocolate and candied almonds crunches.[12] Llaollao also utilises biodegradable cups and napkins made out of recycled materials in their effort to contribute to improving the environment.[13]

Awards

In 2013, Llaollao was chosen as one of 12 best business concepts of the year by the Sandwich & Snack Show Academy[14] and presented the Best Newcomer award by the Actualidad Económica magazine, Spain's leading publication in the fields of economics and business.[15] In 2014, Llaollao was acknowledged with the Startex award jointly awarded by the Spanish Institute for Foreign Trade (ICEX) and the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness of Spain.[16] Llaollao has been recognised by three major food safety certificates by the world's leading company for health, safety and regulatory standards' inspection, verification, testing and certification, SGS.[17]
