Business is booming at Humphrey Yogart, the Los Angeles frozen-yogurt shop where Meghan Markle worked her very first job at the age of 13.
The Duchess of Sussex gave her former employer a shout-out during her two-hour interview with Oprah Winfrey, which was watched by more than 17 million Americans when it aired on Sunday night. Markle mentioned her early gig at the shop when talking about how she’s “always worked [and] always valued independence.”
And the Markle effect has certainly worked its magic on the froyo shop, which is nestled in a Gelson’s grocery store in the Sherman Oaks neighborhood.
