We do not offer internal financing. However, we have strong relationships with 3rd party lenders familiar with our franchise model.
Are there multi-unit franchise opportunities available?
Yes! We currently offer single and multi-unit franchise opportunities nationally in key US markets.
What type of training is available?
As a franchisee, you will become a part of The Fresh Monkee family that genuinely cares, supports, and encourages each other. You will receive best-in-class training at our corporate facility in Connecticut and your location to help you launch and build your business successfully.
Will I receive assistance with marketing and advertising?
Yes! We have contracted with a highly reputable national franchise marketing firm to assist with the Grand Opening and provide ongoing local marketing.
How much space do I need, and will you help me find a location?
Between 1,000 and 1,500 square feet with solid demographics, co-tenants, and visibility. We have specific site criteria and a national real estate network to assist in evaluating sites that will be a good fit for your ideal location.
How long does it take to open?
You should be able to open in as few as 3 to 6 months, although it will depend on how quickly a location is secured.
Do I have to be an owner-operator, or can I operate in a semi-passive capacity?
You have the flexibility to be either! But, as primarily a semi-passive model, we are seeking franchisees with basic business skills who can manage and motivate a team, have sufficient financial resources, and follow the blueprint of a proven business model. Many will hire a general manager to oversee day-to-day operations. Owners can then focus on business development rather than be in the kitchen every day! Get Started today to discover more.
