Freshly Go
Freshly Go franchises allow operators to run counters offering prepared fresh-cut fruits and vegetables in host locations such as grocery stores, retail centers, college campuses, or arenas. The business model involves functioning as a department within these venues, where sales are processed through the host's cash registers; the franchisor and host retain percentages of gross sales, and the remainder is remitted to the franchisee after deductions for other charges. The target market includes shoppers and visitors at these high-traffic locations seeking convenient, healthy fresh produce options.
Franchise Costs
Typically 10% (range 5-20%) franchisor compensation + $77/mo technology fee + $25/mo ongoing training fee + $5/mo direct deposit fee
