LOS ANGELES, May 18, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Milk Jar Cookies, a sought-after sweets destination, announced today the launch of its franchising program across the country. The gourmet cookie shop is set to expand to 39 U.S. states and invites passionate individuals to join its franchising family and share in the vision of spreading joy and kindness through irresistible homemade cookies.
"The Milk Jar Cookies brand has waited ten years to prove the concept, maintaining our hands-on baking method, perfecting our recipes, and protecting the integrity of an extraordinary cookie community bond," said Courtney Cowan, founder of Milk Jar Cookies and author of "The Milk Jar Cookies Bakebook." "We are now ready to partner with others to help share this vision; you don't need to be a professional baker or a serial entrepreneur to join our franchising family, just have an entrepreneurial spirit."
The gourmet cookie shop run by Courtney Cowan has been made famous for its homemade and hand-rolled cookies, partnered with a mission to spread joy and kindness. Since its inception, Milk Jar Cookies has been the go-to gift for friends & Fortune 500 companies alike. The first location opened in 2013 on Wilshire Blvd. in Central Los Angeles, and the second one in Encino, Calif. will open this summer.
Milk Jar Cookies plans to leverage its dedicated corporate team and technology to support franchisees through onboarding. The team includes Matt Hale, an experienced franchisor, franchising expert and consultant, to oversee and advise the growth of franchising efforts in the target expansion areas. At a high level, this will include robust training, site selection, real estate, construction, premarketing, hiring, location opening training and support, grand opening, and ongoing operations/marketing support.
"Having been deeply involved in the franchising industry for years, I've come to understand the essential ingredients that create a successful brand and franchise, and Milk Jar Cookies embodies those qualities wholeheartedly," said Matt Hale, franchising consultant and CEO of Modern Acupuncture. "Their commitment to preserving the culture of 'cookies and kindness' and vetting exceptionally qualified individuals sets them apart, ensuring that every franchisee they bring on board is not just a business partner, but a dedicated ambassador of the Milk Jar experience."
Interested individuals can become part of the Milk Jar Cookies franchise family by making an initial investment between $327,545 and $750,770, which includes an initial franchise fee of $50,000 for a single-unit franchise. Costs may vary based on market factors, lease terms, construction materials availability, and location conditions. Franchisees will pay a royalty fee of 7% of gross sales, as well as a national ad fund fee of 2% of gross sales.
Milk Jar Cookies stores require a minimum of 800 square feet, 15 feet of store frontage minimum, and a preference for end-cap or inline locations in well-curated collectives featuring other unique brands. The company aims to establish its presence in neighborhood and daily-needs centers with favorable demographics, targeting areas with a population of at least 50,000 households within the trade area and a median household income of $75,000 per year. Milk Jar Cookies believes that franchising the brand will positively impact communities while spreading joy and create financial freedom for franchisees and their families.
Aspiring franchisees will undergo a personalized and detailed vetting process, including a meeting and a potential full-day program at company headquarters to learn more about Milk Jar, meet the team, and review key aspects of the franchise program in more detail.
