Menchie's Franchise - A Compelling Business

Most Menchie's frozen yogurt franchise owners began as enthusiastic guests. Intrigued by the smiley guest experience and unparalleled guest loyalty they found at their local Menchie's store, they looked around the frozen yogurt franchise and found people of all ages drawn to Menchie's to enjoy the delicious frozen yogurt.

They correctly thought that:

• Busy stores mean high sales volumes.
• Smiling guests translate into loyal, repeat guests.
• Fun work environments attract responsible team members.
• Simple business models are easy to learn, manage and grow.

Menchie’s franchisees see Menchie's 'Mix-Weigh-Pay' self-service model as simple to operate and that it gives guests exactly what they want while creating a smiley and family-friendly experience in the process. They love the taste of Menchie's proprietary frozen yogurt and fresh toppings. They are impressed by Menchie's yogurt franchise layout, color scheme, branding, energy, and vibe. They see the moneymaking potential and value Menchie's adds to their communities. And, they believe in our philosophy of making the world a better place through smiles.

Menchie's franchisees then think about what it would be like to operate one or more yogurt franchise locations. Lastly, they ask themselves a life-changing question, "Why not me?"

Many communities still don't have a Menchie's frozen yogurt franchise and are waiting for someone like you to bring one to their area.
