Franchisees are an extension of our family, and we support them as such. Initial training includes up to a five-week program that includes up to two weeks of positional training and up to three weeks of leadership and management training.

Complete the inquiry form and let us know why you want to join the family. One of our franchise representatives will reach out to discuss the Rainbow Cone franchise opportunity and learn more about your qualifications. If you meet our qualification standards, we’ll send you a full application.
Submit a franchise application, and our VP of Franchising will interview you remotely to learn about your qualifications, resume, and interest to see if you’re the right fit for our organization.
If you’re qualified to move forward, we’ll begin due diligence and send you our Franchise Disclosure Document. This is where we’ll be digging into the business and the franchise model together. At this stage, our goal is to create alignment and answer all questions you might have in order to proceed.
Next, you’ll be asked to submit your business and financial verification, as well as background authorization. Then, we’ll meet with you to discuss your development plans in greater detail. At this point, we can discuss the franchise agreement terms, including opening timelines and territories, and any other relevant financial considerations to help move the franchise forward.
Now it’s time to show us why you’re the right partner for the job. We’ll sit down and review your plan detailing ownership structure and how you plan to make Rainbow Cone a success in your market.
Next, we’ll invite you to our corporate offices to experience the Rainbow Cone culture up-close and personal. You’ll meet our founders, our leadership, and the team that will be behind you every step of the way. This day is about getting to know each other. Joining a family of our size is no easy feat, so let’s make sure we do it right!
With everything in hand, our Franchise Review Committee will comb through every detail of your proposed plan. Once approved, you’ll receive a Franchise Agreement for review and signature, and once signed, it’s time to bring Rainbow Cone to a community near you!
