In case you missed it, Missoula has lost one of its last standalone frozen yogurt stores. 406 Frozen Yogurt has permanently closed its southside location in the Russell Park Square. When I recently went grocery shopping at Albertsons in the same area, I noticed that the store was closed. I hadn’t realized it earlier because there are often cars parked outside the business.

When U-Swirl Became 406 Frozen Yogurt

406 Frozen Yogurt used to be U-Swirl Frozen Yogurt. Before the name change, I would go there a lot. U-Swirl was a great place to take my kids after a soccer or lacrosse game on the south side of town. My kids really enjoyed that place. The first few times we went there, I made the mistake of letting my kids get as many toppings on the yogurt as they wanted.

They would charge by weight, so I learned quickly to limit toppings to just one. When U-Swirl changed to 406 Frozen Yogurt, I still had U-Swirl punch cards in my wallet. Since my kids have grown, I haven't had a reason to go there over the past few years.
