Gelato Franchise Information
Purchasing a Gelato Business?
Here's What to Consider
Purchasing a gelato franchise is similar to
any other franchise purchase and demands considerable home work and due diligence
on the part of the entrepreneur.
Five Considerations to Make
Before Opening A Gelato Shop
If you are considering opening a gelato
shop, or a gelateria, there is a series of considerations that must be given some
thought before actually taking the plunge (and the risk) of starting a business.
How
is Gelato Made? Like a Work of Art
Gelato is the Italian word for
frozen and is, in Italian, as generic as ice cream is in English. Yet, to all
those consumers of gelato outside of Italy, gelato implies much more than frozen
ice cream in a card board box or frozen yogurt in a cup.
The Ideal Location for a Gelato
Business
While the age old maxim of, "location, location, location,"
works to heighten the awareness of how important location is to starting a gelato
shop, or galeteria, it is also a strategically useless bit of advice.
Ice Cream and Gelato: Industry
and Art
If it can be accepted that both Chevrolet and Ferrari create
automobiles with four wheels and both fulfill their utilitarian function as primary
modes of transportation, then it can also be accepted that ice cream and Italian
gelato are also similar in that they are both cold, tasty, and based on dairy
products.
Gelato
Growth and Popularity in The U.S.
Gelato and similar products must
be examined within the context of the overall ice cream market of which it is
a segment of. Gelato and its cousin sorbetto, which is gelato with water substituted
for the milk and dairy product base, is a growing segment of the broader ice cream
market which is itself expanding.

Financing
Your Gelato Franchise
Gelato Franchises require
a large initial investment and you need to have liquid capital available for them
to use as insurance. There are several different ways to attain the capital needed
to open your Gelato franchise.
Who Should Buy a Gelato Franchise?
Owning a franchise does provide a guide and support
for the successful operation of your business. However, ultimately success is
in the hands of the Gelato Franchise owner him or herself. A Gelato shop owner
needs to have a solid business background or at least a good business sense.
Why Should I Buy a Gelato Franchise?
The concept of "franchising" or licensing operators
originated decades ago. As of 1992, one out of every twelve businesses was a franchise.
Franchising allows any qualified person, with the right amount of capital investment,
to own and operate his or her own business.
Where
Should I Position my Gelateria?
Many business
people have said that the most important thing when opening a business is location,
location, location! This old adage is still true today as location is a key success
factor in operating your gelato shop.
How
Do I Get Started in the Gelato Business?
The
first step is to gather all the information you can about gelato franchises. Search
for Gelato franchises in your area and visit the stores, hang out, try the products
and get a feel for the over all Gelato concept.
