Yogurtland Planned for McKinney at 2050 W. University Drive; $500,000 Build-Out

Yogurtland is planning a 1,472-square-foot, self-serve frozen-yogurt shop at 2050 W. University Drive, Suite 130, in McKinney, project filings show. The tenant build-out is listed under the label “Yogurtland McKinney,” and state permitting documents and an industry planroom entry indicate the project has entered the procurement phase with an estimated $500,000 going into the renovation.

An industry planroom listing shows a procurement bid date of October 28, 2025 at 12:00 PM and lists Yogurtland Franchising, Inc. as the buyer. The planroom packet is available through LDI Reproprinting; contact details on the listing include 1200 Woodruff Rd Ste G5, Greenville, SC 29607 and tel 864-288-7000. Buyer contact information on the solicitation lists an address block of 2100 Valley View Ln Ste 101, Dallas, TX 75234 and telephone 949-265-8000 as displayed in the procurement entry.

State permitting filings include a construction timeline note that reads, "Construction is scheduled to start in April and wrap up by July." The filings also enumerate the proposed concept as a self-serve frozen-yogurt operation, describing rotating flavors such as Fresh Strawberry and Chocolate Milkshake and toppings including fresh fruit, cheesecake bites, and sprinkles. No official opening date or staffing details have been released, and neither the chain nor the landlord has issued a formal announcement.

For local residents and shoppers, the project represents both a small retail investment and another layer of activity on the West University Drive corridor, a busy retail strip that has seen recent tenant turnover. The addition follows the late closure of an Abbott’s Frozen Custard outlet nearby, potentially restoring a family-friendly dessert option for neighborhood foot traffic. At a baseline level, a $500,000 renovation increases short-term construction spending in Collin County and expands the taxable retail base once the store opens.

From a market perspective, the McKinney listing appears in Yogurtland’s broader franchising pipeline as one of several locations under construction nationwide. For local contractors and subcontractors, the planroom bid date signals a procurement window to pursue tenant-improvement work; plans can be obtained through the LDI Planroom or by contacting LDI Reproprinting directly. Property owners and municipal permitting officials will determine final timelines once bids are awarded and permits issued.

What comes next for neighbors is straightforward: monitor the shopping center at 2050 W. University Drive for signage and construction activity, and watch for a formal announcement from Yogurtland Franchising, Inc. or the property landlord confirming an opening date, hiring plans, and any community events tied to the store launch.
