Wild Cherry Yogurt Shop Has Closed

A self-service frozen yogurt shop in Chinatown appears to be closed for good. A poster on the Chowhound forum said that Wild Cherry, located on Beach Street in Chinatown, was closed last week, and a call during business hours to the number listed for the business on Facebook yielded an automated message that the phone number is no longer in service.

Boston's Wild Cherry location actually has two Facebook pages; one was last updated in February 2014, while another hasn't been updated since May 2013, when the business opened. The phone number attached to the latter Facebook, which is the same one listed on the business' Yelp page, reached a person who hung up twice when asked for Wild Cherry Yogurt.

Wild Cherry was one of many froyo shops that expanded in the Boston area in the past few years, including Yogurtland, Pinkberry, 16 Handles, FroZenYo, Orange Leaf, iYo Cafe, and others. A location of Pinkberry in Davis Square, which was spitting distance from two other yogurt shops, shuttered for good in January; perhaps the tidal wave of frozen yogurt that was headed toward Boston is finally receding.
