Gourmet Dessert Franchise - Absentee Owned! - SC2273

Business Overview:

This Northern California Gourmet Dessert Franchise is a California Limited Liability Company and was started almost 5 years ago and under the founding ownership since inception. This franchise is known for offering a delicious variety of gourmet treats that can be picked up in-store, delivered, and also has various catering options. Made fresh daily with a weekly rotating menu of over 300 flavors, nothing is dull and run-of-the-mill with this franchise. As a total franchise, they sell over 1 Million desserts daily and have over 1,000 locations worldwide. Ownership currently lives out of state, and even though ownership works about 25 hours a week, they are not present at the location and are absentee. The company currently advertises heavily through corporate, which has an extensive and successful marketing team for social media, email text, applications and online ads. The biggest growth opportunity is being at least a local semi-absentee owner. Current owners work about 25 hours a week, but live out of state and only travel on location once or twice per year. They do have a store manager in place. Being an owner that has some degree of presence will help drive trends in the marketplace. They are also installing new equipment in line with new offerings coming out from the Franchisor. Additionally, there is a new anchor tenant in the shopping center and a new Costco being built 500 yards from this location.
