History
Every premium opportunity starts with something great at its core. Annie’s Old
Fashioned Ice Cream started its first shop in San Antonio with a simple idea as
classic as the vanilla ice cream at the center of Annie’s trademark fresh,
hand-dipped ice cream bars. This uniquely entertaining treat, along with Annie’s
fresh-squeezed lemonade, serves as the foundation for a dynamic quick-serve
retail franchise opportunity. The products are simple, prepared fresh and taste
great! Annie’s has been in continuous operation for over thirty-one years, we
offer products with staying power in the quick-serve food market.
Concept Extended
We understand: Franchisees are entrepreneurs. They want to leverage a proven
system and run their own business. A simple, fun, versatile business. A business
with solid economics that will support a profitable enterprise. It is this
simple idea that has driven the development of the Annie’s opportunity. The
Annie’s team has worked diligently to surround Annie’s premium products with a
premium business model – a well-conceived package that will deliver time-tested,
great products. This ground-up business planning started with developing an
understanding of what would create a rewarding experience for franchisees,
including:
- A reasonable investment
- A true “turn-key”
program
- Simplified inventory
management
- Low labor requirements
- Solid product margins
- Flexible retail options
Market Opportunity
Ice cream and other treats are part of a multi-billion-dollar food segment. Ice
cream alone is a 13-billion dollar business, with 98% of all Americans eating an
average of 24 quarts of ice cream annually. Annie’s understands this reality and
has created an opportunity that franchisees can greatly benefit from.
Annie’s serves premium,
one-of-a-kind products that are made to order. Our ice cream is made by Blue
Bell, considered by many to be the best ice cream in the country. Our chocolate
coating is a proprietary blend that is time-tested. Our toppings are the finest
available, as we work directly with the manufacturer. Our fresh-squeezed
lemonade is simply the best available, made fresh to order using only water,
sugar and the finest-quality lemons.
