Pretzel Franchises For Sale

Perhaps the first and biggest challenge you will face when starting a pretzel franchise business is picking a location. There are plenty of different sites that could work, but it’s wise to take your time and think through all the variables before signing that first lease. The good news is a franchise will likely have an expert at your disposal to make sure you make the right decision on your location.

Not the Destination

In most cases, your pretzel business will not be the primary destination when someone heads out of the house. Since you aren’t selling full meals, a pretzel shop is where people will stop while they are out doing other things or on their way somewhere else. Think about this reality when selecting a location to set up shop. Pretzel businesses are commonly seen in shopping malls, for example, because they can serve shoppers who came to the mall looking for other things. Anywhere with a high level of consistent foot traffic is a good starting point when seeking out the ideal location.

A Small Space

Most likely, you aren’t going to need a large physical space to run a pretzel business. There is some equipment required to make the pretzels, of course, but you won’t need as much space as a restaurant offering a full menu, and some pretzel franchises may provide you with the product already made off-site. So, where can you find a location that provides you with just enough square footage without going overboard? Remember, a larger space means more overhead, and you need to keep costs down to turn this business into a profitable one.

Limited Competition

There is enough demand for burgers and fries that allows these food franchises to thrive in the same area – even on the same street. That’s probably not the case for pretzels. While there is demand for this tasty snack, you’ll want to find a location where the pretzels you offer will be the only ones around.
