DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS?

We will absolutely love it if you have business ownership experience. But if you don’t, that’s okay. We are looking for financially qualified business builders who have a keen understanding of the hospitality business. When you own a brand that is known for serving joy every day, it’s important to understand the importance of how you serve it. We are excited to work with people who are excited to work with us, and who will follow the Goodberry’s Frozen Custard franchise program standards. If you have a firm understanding of business management and hospitality and can see yourself enjoying life owning a frozen custard shop of your own, then our franchise opportunity may be just right for you.

First, you will become a Certified Custard Maker! We’ll help make that happen when you come and train at our headquarters. You will spend 15 days with us learning every aspect of the business, from what we put into our dreamy frozen custard to how to get it out to the masses in your new frozen custard shop. We are going to teach you everything we know about the frozen custard business, and when we’re through, you’re going to love it as much as we do! Then, when you are ready to launch your business, we’ll send a team member from the home office to your location for ten more full days of additional support. Beyond that, we will always be available via phone and email when you need us, and you will have exclusive access to our confidential operations manual, from the moment you are selected to open a custard shop with Goodberry’s Frozen Custard.

The estimated initial investment necessary to begin operations ranges from $600,000 to $2 Million (note: the higher end of the range includes building ownership). This includes a $35,000 initial franchise fee for a single territory agreement. As with any new venture, it’s important to have adequate capital to fund the initial business growth stages.

We do not provide direct financing to franchise owners, but we may refer to financing sources on a case-by-case basis.

We collect a 6% royalty fee based on gross revenues. Fees such as this allow us to fund our ongoing support services like the continued development of best practices and procedures, as well as marketing tools, training programs, and systems upgrades. For a full list of fees and requirements, please refer to our Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).

Franchise owners will start by contributing 1% (this can increase to up to 2%) of gross revenues on an ongoing basis to our centralized brand fund. The collected funds will be used to develop marketing strategies to promote the Goodberry’s Frozen Custard brand and cover the creative costs to develop brand marketing materials and campaigns. Also, upon signing the franchise agreement, each franchise owner will spend up to $7,000 on Grand Opening promotions. On an ongoing basis, franchisees will be required to spend at least 2% of gross revenues on local marketing efforts.

The initial term of your agreement is ten years, with two subsequent successor agreement options of five years each.
