CafeMia Franchise
Gelato boutique
CaféMia is a remarkable gelato boutique.
Balanced revenue model.
The "ice cream-only" model is an extremely risky proposition in a highly competitive retail world. Although freshly-made gelato is clearly the centerpiece of CaféMia's product offerings— we are much more than just a gelato shop. We have designed our product offerings to address four distinct ‘dayparts' which create a very stable revenue stream. Very few competitors do this. None do it as well as CaféMia.
Simple operations.
Our store procedures, recipes and management systems have been designed to facilitate day to day operations and create a consistent experience. We are not a full service restaurant— we aim for stores no larger than 2,000 USD square feet in order to keep things simple, streamlined and consistent.
Remarkable products.
Every CaféMia product offering has a "wow factor". The gelato is fresh, silky and intensely flavored. The paninis are made using warm, crusty ciabatta bread and premium ingredients. The chocolates and pastries are blissful and indulgent. In short, everything has been selected to create a unique customer experience.
Gelato is big and getting bigger.
The frozen desserts in the U.S. represent more than a $21 billion market. The super premium segment has grown twice the rate of the overall industry. People clearly love really good ice cream. Gelato is merely the purest, most indulgent, healthiest form of ice cream in the world. Gelato buzz getting stronger all the time. CaféMia is the best positioned company to take advantage of this major market opportunity.
