American Pinkberry Store has opened its store in Ghana – the first in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Pinkberry is a famous frozen yogurt brand originated in Los Angeles, California, known for its fresh, pure and supremely tasty frozen yogurt and variety of toppings.
Pinkberry is in Ghana in partnership with Golden Peak Investment Capital. The move was facilitated by Kobbina Awuah after he acquired the franchise for Ghana.
Speaking at the launch of the Pinkberry shop at Labone, the CEO of the Ghana Investment Promotion Center, Yoofi Grant said the development must attract other American companies to Ghana.

Our premium frozen yogurt is made fresh daily with only the highest quality ingredients including nonfat milk and low fat yogurt to deliver the perfect balance of tart and sweet, resulting in a refreshing, light and craveable taste with a clean finish,” he added.
