Finally, a food "lite" franchise opportunity that makes sense
A brand with great profits, smiling customers, no greasy fryers
The #1 question I get asked is about food-service franchises. But after a quick discussion about the nitty gritty of owning a traditional food concept, most people are ready to run for the hills, and with good reason. Until now, where I finally have a fantastic recommendation: a dessert-centered brand created by the 4th generation of a family of chocolatiers. They’ve pivoted a bit and modified their core business into a turn-key franchise model ready to sweep the country.
Talk about a feel-good concept: people walk into these stores smiling with anticipation, and they leave even happier!
This brand’s proprietary product is so delicious it has a cult-like following of fans craving their flavors. Their 11 very successful corporate stores are centered in a mid-market northeastern city and its suburbs. They’re now going nationwide as a franchise, so here’s your chance!
To sweeten the deal: there’s an incredible heavyweight team behind this national roll-out. They have some serious financial backing and know how to grow and scale a company. They’ve sold over $300 million of products at Costco stores through a former division of their family business. Their experienced management team has partnered with a leading multi-brand franchisor led by a winner of the International Franchise Association’s (IFA’s) Entrepreneur of the Year award.
This food service brand is different
This is not your mother’s quick service restaurant (QSR) franchise! Many candidates ask me about QSR brands. Then they get turned off hearing about the many downsides: high food costs, the need for a large footprint and expensive real estate, massive competition with a rival on every corner, long hours of operation, a large staff with high turnover, and on and on. This all leads to low margins, so they end up wondering: “is the juice really worth the squeeze?”
But this brand operates outside the box of traditional QSRs. It’s a simple model with no need for fryers, grease traps, hot stoves, or kitchen hood exhaust systems. Think of it as food service lite. The “back of the house” for this brand is super simple—their proprietary high-efficiency production system makes operations a breeze.
They don’t need to compete with all the pizza, burger, chicken, taco, and sandwich shops that already saturate the market. Their product is actually a nice follow-up to a meal at one of those places, so their busiest hours are between 6:00pm and closing time (10:00pm).
You’re probably thinking: show me the money! That’s the best part here! This franchisor is fully transparent—they actually share complete profit and loss statements for every corporate store. Down to the EBITDA level! How often do you actually get to look under the hood like that? You’ll see just how profitable this business is—another differentiator from traditional QSRs.
