Morano Gelato - Franchise
WHY MORANO GELATO?
We give our customers an amazing gelato experience! Morano Gelato promotes the tradition of true Italian gelato-making and gives our customers the entire experience, from the excitement of walking through the door and seeing a beautiful display case to slowly savoring each taste in a shiny & clean shop which transports customers to an artisanal gelateria in a small city in Italy. This is why we may have Italian TV or radio playing and why all employees must wear a uniform. These elements help foster a professional and traditional Italian environment.
We make a traditional Sicilian-style gelato from scratch, every morning. Made with primarily water, Sicilian gelato is much lighter than Northern Italian gelato and even less in butterfat. We also use only the best and freshest ingredients, importing many from Italy and sourcing the rest from local farms within each community we’re in. We have a passion for gelato and maintaining the tradition of true Italian gelato-making, and will continue to do so through each of our small batches made on-site daily.
At each Morano Gelato location, we make 12-16 different flavors fresh each morning that change daily and seasonally. We post which flavors we make on our shop's Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter pages so that customers can see what flavors are available along with new flavors when they are introduced. We also serve a selection of traditional Italian espresso drinks using Illy espresso - one of Italy's oldest and highest quality espresso brands based out of Northern Italy. Our dedication to traditional Sicilian and artisan gelato using excellent recipes ultimately distinguishes us among other gelato shops in America. There are no quality-oriented and traditional gelato franchise companies who have a strong presence and Morano Gelato is positioned to be the major player in the industry.
