If you’re looking for a dessert franchise, especially a frozen dessert franchise, you’re up against what appears at first glance to be a saturated category. But frozen desserts in general is a fairly fragmented segment, with a couple of sub-categories that have run themselves out of the market. The frozen dessert industry isn’t just run-of-the-mill ice cream chains and nothing-special frozen yogurt franchises. As you continue your research, look for brands that bring something new to the industry. We know one cool brand who’s shaking things up… read on to learn more.

Innovative Products

The main difference between an Italian ice business and everything else? Italian ice is at the beginning of a massive growth spurt. Ice cream chains, shaved ice franchises and frozen yogurt franchises have peaked or plateaued, but Italian ice is on the come-up. Studies have shown that two main drivers of frozen dessert consumption are unique flavor combinations and exciting packaging and branding — all of which we serve up by the scoop.

Our menu includes rich ice cream, molecularly-flavored Italian ice and our signature Gelatis. They are a layered combination of our flavorful, refreshing Italian ice and our silky-smooth ice cream. Our treats are completely craveable! And that’s why our consumers are more than just customers — they are dedicated Jeremiah’s fans who want to engage with us on every level. Just ask the hundreds who have downloaded the J-List Loyalty App; rewards make the Jeremiah’s experience that much sweeter.

Diverse Investment Options

When you franchise with Jeremiah’s, you aren’t boxed in to just one model. You have choices. Our traditional model is a full-sized store starting at approximately 800 square feet. We also have a co-branded franchise opportunity that will allow your Jeremiah’s location to share space with a complementary business. You can also choose to invest in a Jeremiah’s kiosk which has smaller footprint and can be located in busy, high foot traffic areas. Work with Jeremiah’s corporate crew to figure out which model will be the best for you.

Multiple Revenue Streams

Don’t put all of your flavors in one freezer. No doubt about it: in-store, swirled-to-order purchases are our biggest revenue stream. We love when our customers come to see us and carefully select their Italian ice or ice cream flavor. But Jeremiah’s franchisees also benefit from additional revenue streams.

Sometimes our biggest fans want to share Jeremiah’s with all of their loved ones for a special occasion. So, we cater! Jeremiah’s has been at wedding receptions, baby showers, graduation parties and more. Along with our event catering, we offer full-service scooping which means a member of your Jeremiah’s team will stick around to serve up the tasty treats. We also sell pre-packaged treats like ice cream sandwiches in our stores to further diversify our revenue streams.

Streamlined Operations

You may find a well-organized operational guideline at other ice cream chains, but they’ve got nothing on the Frog Squad. We mean it when we say that we want everyone at a Jeremiah’s to be having a good time. And that includes our franchisees! Our simple operations make hiring and training a breeze, and our low-labor model keeps costs low and margins high. You’ll strategize for growth and do what it takes keep your customers smiling. Are you up for that?
