Beacon Retro FroYo is a self-serve frozen yogurt destination built around a nostalgic 1970s theme — "Groovy Treats Await You!" The shop offers a wide array of frozen yogurt flavors, including vegan options, an extensive topping bar, coffee, hot chocolate, complimentary Wi-Fi, and retro video games, and has also hosted private parties and events.
The brand’s history includes a former sister location in New Jersey, giving it recognition and identity beyond its current single-location footprint.
The Beacon location sits at 412 Main Street, on one of the Hudson Valley’s most walkable and visited commercial corridors. Main Street is anchored by Dia:Beacon, one of the largest contemporary art museums in the country, and the city draws consistent weekend and seasonal tourism from New York City (roughly 90 minutes away by Metro-North) in addition to a loyal local customer base.
The business is fully built out and equipped, having recently invested approximately $75,000 in near-new equipment, and is currently entering its strongest sales months of the year.
There has been an added income source due to the high demand of thrifted “retro” themed items that are housed in the store. Secondary retail is a large draw in the Beacon, NY market.
