BECOMING A MAKE AND TAKE GOURMET OWNER

We don’t hold ourselves to industry standards. Instead, we look above and beyond the “status quo” in meal preparation. We aim to lead, not follow. Therefore, we’re constantly on the look-out for exceptional franchise owners who want to help us lead the way.

Depending upon your location, you may be able to open your Make and Take Gourmet location for $204,500-$322,000. This includes your entire store build-out, commercial grade equipment, furniture, franchise fee and all the costs associated with opening your doors for business – and remember, we’ll be with you throughout the entire process.

We don’t require our owners to have prior experience in the food service industry (although it does help!). Instead, our priority is finding individuals who have a desire to operate their own business, a passion for enriching people’s lives, and the drive to succeed.
