Another fro-yo franchise, Tutti Frutti, has joined a list of establishments including chains like Menchie’s, Yogurtland and Swirll, as well as homegrown establishments like Bosco’s and Splendido. The California-based chain offers a wide selection of fruit and cream-flavored fro-yo, from the familiar (such as grape, pineapple, blueberry) to the exotic (taro, green tea and lychee). To celebrate the store’s opening, Tutti Frutti will offer $1 yogurt all day long on May 14. Click here to see a photo gallery of the franchise’s new Baton Rouge location, on Corporate Boulevard.
