Typically this would range between A$300,000 – $400,000. This depends on factors such as store size and the equipment that is required to support what you offer in your store. We are able to support stores of a variety of sizes and formats and we’ll work closely with you to find one that best suits your location.

We have observed that stores with owners/operators who are closely involved in the business perform the best. The passion and contribution they bring across various areas is a big factor in maximising the potential of the store. For this reason, we strongly recommended that the owner has a day-to-day involvement in their store.

We pride ourselves in our competitive fee structure, with royalties charged at a flat $250 per week regardless of volume. Many other franchise businesses will increase their royalties as your business grows, but this isn’t something we believe in.

The contribution to the shared marketing fund is 3% of your store’s turnover (excluding GST). Within that marketing contribution, 0.75% of your turnover is held for you to implement any local store marketing strategies. Provided that this is spent on the local marketing of your store, you have control over what this looks like!

Altogether, we suggest allowing up to 20 weeks. If there is a site and lease available that suits your needs, the build phase is approximately 12 weeks long.

We are best known and celebrated for our delicious award-winning, vegan-friendly Mango sorbet. Featuring Australia’s world famous, juicy Queensland Kensington Pride Mangoes, it’s a refreshing flavour that captures the essence of Summer! It’s been our number 1 flavour for a long period of time, but has more recently been challenged by our signature Salted Macadamia & Dulce De Leche as well as the classic favourite Cookies & Cream.

Choices for All is the centrepiece of our flavour range. We pride ourselves in meeting the demands of the widest possible range of customers and to provide flavours that suit their taste buds and dietary requirements. From the traditional options and family favourites, through to our decadent Deluxe Range, and our healthier low sugar and vegan options, we have over 50 different flavours available to choose from. Such a wide range of flavours means every store can cater and customise precisely to their own market, putting our customers and their preferences first!
