Spilling the tea: the Food Service Lite opportunity of your dreams
Great news—2024 is bringing an opportunity that so many of you ask for: a food service franchise that meets my high standards.
This one ALSO checks the boxes of 2 popular wish-list items: it’s a semi-absentee ownership model AND it’s an affordable brick and mortar business. For those reasons, you could even call it “food service lite” or a “kinder, gentler” food service business!
There are so many advantages of this business I can barely fit them into one sentence! It’s a semi-absentee, manager-run franchise that operates out of a small retail footprint, available for a low investment (~$250K–$350K per unit), with minimal labor requirements, fanatical customer demand, unique competitive advantages, and extremely high margins.
Wondering how a food service business thrives with minimal labor needs? They streamline operations with cutting-edge technology! In most markets, upwards to 90% of orders are placed on their App or through in-store kiosks.
What kind of food service, you ask? I’ll spill the details: It’s in an extremely fast-growing segment of the beverage market. And no, it’s not another copycat coffee shop.
This global franchisor is stirring it up and bringing their beverage brand to the US in a big way. They currently have over 1,500 worldwide locations operating in 60 countries on 6 continents and are ready to take the US by storm. Most recently they opened 125+ locations in Canada and another 170+ locations in Australia before launching in the US in 2024.
The time is right because only a few US markets have been sold so far. That means there is likely open territory in your market! Get it while it’s hot!
This experienced franchisor is looking to grow in the US by partnering with multi-unit operators, with a minimal commitment of 3 locations per franchisee. This is an easily scalable brand that can operate in many different real estate locations: strip malls, traditional malls, food courts, etc., as it only needs 500–1,000 square feet.
