Franchisee Qualification
 
So, what does it take to be the owner of a Gigi's Cupcakes? We've shortened what could easily be a very long list of requirements to the four below. Capital Requirements are straight forward and mandatory. Before moving to Next Steps, we'd ask you to seriously consider the remaining three qualifications listed here, as well as the starting point for our demographic criteria. Gigi's Franchising is here to assist in every way possible, but the ultimate success of your Gigi's Cupcakes franchise depends on you.
 
  • Capital Requirements - You will need liquid assets of approximately $100,000 and total net worth of $250,000. This can be done individually or with family members or investors that sign on with you.
  • Business Experience - You will need prior experience in management and/or running a business, preferably retail.
  • Passion - We want you to be excited and enthusiastic about owning a Gigi’s, and being part of our National system.
  • Involvement - You are expected to be involved in your business on a daily basis, whether you are the manager or you hire a manager, because we find greater success with owners who are actively involved in the operation of their store. This business requires real commitment, attention to detail, and hard work.

  • Demographics - We have done extensive research on the demographics we need for a long term successful location. There are several qualification targets; but, we start with cities with 60,000, or more, population in the immediate trade area.
