Overview

About Carousel's

['Proprietary product and equipment', '$70k all in for single mobile truck', 'Opportunity to own an entire market']

As a fast-growing emerging brand, and through our mobile truck option, we offer Franchise Partners a pathway to quick, scalable, rapid growth, with multiple recurring revenue streams all leading to increased profitability! We focus on Area Developer candidates that want to build and scale an entire market with multiple trucks. Instead of typical ice cream or Italian ice, "Carousels soft serve icery" swirls up a family-secret proprietary recipe of fruity frozen ice with a creamy texture and a condensed tidal wave of flavor, without the dairy, fat & calories of other frozen treats. We have built a business for franchisee partners with a resonating vision. We know candidates are looking for an opportunity to partner with franchisors that operate with a high standard of excellence, a great product, experience, and an increasing bottom line. Carousels is “Disney Approved”, a simple proven concept, with under 10% food costs, minimal payroll, and a very low overhead and start-up costs.
