Overview
Thank you for your interest in joining the Melt Franchise Family.
The Melt gelato & crepe café is a fresh, new, and exciting concept - not just for our customers but also for our franchisees and business partners.
In the already immense retail ice cream market, Melt gelato & crepe café brings a new, exciting approach in an under represented sector. Authentic Italian gelato and sorbetto has been loved for hundreds of years, but has yet to be fully exposed to consumers in the U.S. and other countries. Crepes; a staple diet in France, a much healthier alternative to fast foods is new to the North American consumer. Great products in a great environment, providing the consumer with a feeling of being in Europe.
Not only do we offer great products, but we strive on offering our customers with a unique purchase experience, one that they will always remember. Our enthusiastic consumers enjoy gelato’s intense flavors, dense and creamy texture, natural ingredients, and significantly lower fat content than premium ice cream, all in a unique atmosphere and environment. Based on Italian recipes that are centuries old, our selection of gelato and sorbetto is decoratively displayed in glass cases and helps draw in customers again and again. Our delicious French crepe’s are made in view of the customer and offer a healthy alternative to fast food. We also offer panini’s. coffee, smoothies, Italian sodas, and pastries -- providing not just a treat for everyone, but also an opportunity for multiple revenue streams for store owners.
