The business model centers on franchising these approximately 1,800 square foot shops, located in high-traffic pedestrian areas, shopping malls, lifestyle centers, or densely populated urban/suburban locations. They target everyday consumers seeking nostalgic, unique, and specialty candy and beverage products in a competitive market.
