Franchising

So...you want to be your own boss!

 

Why consider a Franchise?

A Franchise is based on a proven business formula.  Accordingly, franchising can lower the risk associated with operating a small business.  Franchising systems offer you an opportunity to be self-employed - to be on your own, but not alone and is about “being in business for yourself, but not by yourself.”

Franchised outlets have demonstrated a greater survival capability over non-franchised small business outlets. The Franchisee is joining a group of like-minded individuals and sharing their ideas and experiences.

 

Why a Cookie Man Franchise?

  • Cookie Man has been a successful operation in Australia since 1958 so we understand what makes a franchise. Now...over 50 years later, we are still a premier fresh cookie retailer in Australia, selling delicious, freshly baked cookies, mouth watering coffee, seasonal cookie gifts, and a number of speciality products. Furthermore, Cookie Man is a retail business with no ongoing royalties that has the opportunity to generate additional Corporate, Wholesale, and Fundraising revenue.
  • Cookie Man's unique & exclusive fresh-bake oven concept provides aroma and animation at point-of-sale and thus consumer appeal in a world where freshness of product is ever more important. The Cookie Man ovens are simple to operate with full training provided. Our contemporary in-store design with café style seating ensures the complete customer experience.
  • The unique products are what set a Cookie Man store apart from the rest. With such a vast selection of fresh cookies and yummy treats such as brownies, fudge and slices, Cookie Man products are well renowned with something to appeal to everyone. A functional category including Gluten Free and Sugar Free cookies have also been developed. Our product range is continuously evolving.
  • The cookies are baked from frozen doughs which are prepared and shipped to the store from our central supply facility. Doughs are thawed as required and then baked on the cookie oven which forms the central focal point of each retail Cookie Man outlet.
  • Cookie Man takes coffee so seriously, we now roast our own unique blend of 100% Arabica Bean coffee which is Rainforest Alliance™ Certified. New store designs include the espresso machine being positioned prominently in the overall store design with all products on offer the perfect complement to our coffee.
  • With such longevity in an ever changing, ever growing market, our 50 year history shows the strength of our offer. Most importantly, for you, the satisfaction of owning your own business as an established brand, without being on your own.
