Franchising details
In 2013, the husband and wife team behind Udderlicious, Raj & Raj, decided they wanted to make a change in their lives, and create something unique from their love of ice cream. That love has been the driving force behind the creation of their bright, colourful, and creative stores, and the dozens of incredible flavours on offer.
The first Udderlicious store opened in Islington and was a huge success, so much so that only 2 years later, Mr & Mrs Kotecha opened a second store in a prime location in Covent Garden. Their third store in Crouch End, the most recent edition to their ice cream empire, opened in 2024.
The stores have become real destinations in themselves, not just for their many loyal customers in the local area, but also for people all over the capital and beyond, who want a taste of their now famous ice cream.
Build that future you’ve always dreamed of - one scoop at a time!
Is there anyone who doesn’t enjoy great ice cream? While Udderlicious is not the only ice cream franchise out there, there’s ice cream, then there’s Udderlicious!
- A Product in Constant Demand - Ice creams are luxury treats and desserts that bring joy whatever the weather. Ice cream like this never goes out of style, especially with the constant addition of exciting new flavour combinations, and the vegan range available.
- A Simple Set-up with Low Overheads - Unlike restaurants, an ice cream parlour doesn’t require expensive premises, a large staff, or complicated kit. You don’t need a big variety of food preparation and storage areas, nor do you need premises zoned for restaurant use. A simple retail unit will do!
- A Little Local Magic - It’s all about being part of the community; creating an exciting customer experience that keeps customers coming back for more. After the ice cream itself, this care for their customers is probably the single biggest factor in their success to date.

Training and support
When you join the Udderlicious franchise, you’re not just buying into a great brand and proven business model, you’re also becoming a partner in every sense of the word. You will benefit from the experience and expertise gained, through the comprehensive training programme, and have everything you need to make the most of this opportunity. Your journey will start with a 3-week training plan; if you’re not planning to work in the store yourself, you will still need to attend some, if not all, of the training alongside your intended store manager.
The first week of the training is classroom based (2-3 days). You (and your Store Manager, if relevant) will then spend two weeks working in one of the Udderlicious outlets in London, and at Head Office, where you will gain practical experience of how to conduct your day-to-day operations.
Support is always available, whenever you need it, including regular calls and meetings to see how you’re doing, and at least 12 days in your first year where the team will come to visit you in your store.
With the Udderlicious franchise, you may be working for yourself, but you are never by yourself!
