Crestview's Chill Yogurt doors still open, seeking buyer

CRESTVIEW — Those looking to own a local business in Crestview may want to consider Chill Yogurt. The shop at 2218 S. Ferdon Blvd. is up for sale.

Larry Cleveland, current owner of Chill Yogurt, bought the business one year ago from an elderly man in Alabama.

At the time, Cleveland was living in Crestview and saw this as an opportunity to invest in the community.

However, his wife, an active duty service member, was relocated to Louisiana.

Cleveland said he still continued trying to be active in the business while living out-of-state, but distance became an issue.

The sell of Chill Yogurt is an asset-purchase agreement meaning anything located inside the business as well as the business and name are up for sale.

The frozen yogurt shop could potentially close for good unless Cleveland receives interest from a buyer by the end of the year, he said.

Cleveland encourages people to own a business like a frozen yogurt shop because of its simplicity.

"It's not a hard business," Cleveland said. "…If it's owned and operated by a local owner, they will make a profit."

The business is currently open. Those interested can call Cleveland at 850-612-1383.

Note: A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that the yogurt shop is closed, based on a statement by the owner. Chill Yogurt is still open for business and serving customers.
