I Can't Believe It's Yogurt is a chain of stores that serves soft-serve frozen yogurt products in the United States. The company has franchised and company-owned stores and non-traditional partnerships for licensing its products.

History

In 1984, it sued TCBY, whose company name was originally "This Can't Be Yogurt!". The lawsuit forced TCBY to change its name to "The Country's Best Yogurt!".[2]
