Simply Ice Cream is rolling out its tempting franchise opportunity as it expands across the UK.
The award-winning ice cream franchise was born out of a concept developed by founder Sally Newall. She’s run her own catering business for over two decades, and began creating handmade ice cream and sorbets in the heart of Kent.
Although the company started out selling an exclusive range at a local farm shop, the products soon became popular, and the brand expanded into 16 retail outlets within a year.
Now, the products are available in almost 400 businesses across the south of England, including 35 Waitrose stores. You can find the selection in farm shops, independent retailers and restaurants, as well as ice cream parlours, tourist attractions and cinemas. The franchise even attends events such as local fetes and farmers markets.
The business prides itself on its high-quality products. The ice cream is made with 50 percent double cream, milk and sugar, and natural additions such as fresh fruit, homemade honeycomb and artisan fudge. Most importantly, there are no additives, preservatives, powders or syrups.
As a growing brand with impressive retail partners, Simply Ice Cream can offer an exciting investment opportunity for entrepreneurs looking to enter the food industry.
If you join Simply Ice Cream, you’ll get a five-year contract with the option to renew, and an exclusive sales territory. Plus, there are no royalty fees for your first three months in business, and you’ll benefit from start-up stock and a pre-launch marketing campaign.
To become a Simply Ice Cream franchisee, you’ll need excellent people skills, good business sense and passion for the industry. Find out more about the requirements to join the brand on its profile page, linked above.
