The TCBY The Original Social Network has been announced in celebration of the brand's 45th anniversary to shine on light on its history, while providing customers with some exclusive perks for their patronage. The campaign takes aim at the brand's loyalty members who will have access to exclusive promotions throughout July and August. The brand will also be hosting a sweepstakes on social media to drive Facebook and Instagram traffic alongside a buy-one-get-one deal that will offer half off second purchases on August 4, 2026.
Executive director of Parent Company Famous Brands International Rich Screnci spoke on the TCBY The Original Social Network campaign saying, "For 45 years, TCBY has been more than a place to enjoy frozen yogurt. We've been a place where friends meet after school, families celebrate milestones, first dates happen, and lifelong memories are made. This anniversary is an opportunity to celebrate those moments and thank the guests, franchisees, and communities who have been part of our story."
