Franchisees receive customized marketing plans to support market launches with continued efforts to maintain awareness as the business scales. Our dedicated field marketing team works alongside franchisees to support local marketing efforts and design programming to suit the nuances of their local market, helping to drive brand loyalty, foot traffic, and online ordering in stores.
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. Additionally, we will provide up to four weeks of on-site opening assistance with consistent e-learning and webinars available to all franchise owners.
We’ve perfected the art of a truly immersive dessert experience and cherish our place as the spark of joy for so many. Now, we just need you to join us.
We’ve crafted a fast-casual model that has all of the perfect ingredients, just like our namesake five-flavor ice cream cone. Potential for high-growth regardless of the economic environment, highly scalable, and significant margins – everything about Rainbow Cone is one-of-a-kind.
