Ciao a tutti! We welcome you to explore this opportunity we offer to join the Paciugo family! Franchisees share our vision of introducing authentic Italian gelato throughout the United States, and we believe Paciugo franchise ownership is an attractive business opportunity. Franchises are available with Paciugo throughout the United States. A Proven Product Our history offers a glimpse into the possibilities at Paciugo, beginning in 2000 when the first Paciugo gelateria opened at West Lovers Lane in Dallas, Texas. Paciugo quickly developed a loyal following, and by 2004 had a local presence with eight stores and kiosks operating in the Dallas Metroplex. Paciugo's success is grounded in our commitment to the authentic Italian gelato tradition. We do not sacrifice our product for cheaper or faster alternatives, and our customers recognize this. That is why our customer survey results in 2005 rated Paciugo gelato higher than premium ice cream food service concepts in the categories of better health, lower fat, superior taste, and higher quality. Purchasing Power We have direct access to the best Italian suppliers for the highest quality and most cost effective ingredients and machinery. A Good BrandPaciugo is a trusted brand because we stand firm behind our motto, Ante Lucrum Nomen "Reputation before Profit." Most of our early franchisees are long-time Paciugo customers or had been Paciugo employees. As our franchisee, you can rest assured that you are representing a first-class and honest brand.
We are proud to announce that the Fuzzy Peach is now offering franchise opportunities to qualified candidates across the country. If you are a hardworking, passionate businessperson with a desire to be in business for yourself but not by yourself, this could be the opportunity for you. The Fuzzy Peach is a revolutionary new spin on the frozen dessert business. We offer our customers a healthy and delicious frozen yogurt in a self-serve atmosphere where the customer is always in charge. Through our frozen yogurt, we have built a strong brand that we plan to make a national and international standard in the dessert industry. Come visit one of our stores and you'll see the Fuzzy Peach difference. The Fuzzy Peach Frozen Yogurt Bar was founded on the principle of offering a healthy dessert option in a clean and fun atmosphere. The Fuzzy Peach has been a pioneer in the self-serve frozen yogurt industry, where the customer is always in charge. In addition to pioneering the self-serve concept, we have created an opportunity for fellow business people to duplicate our system and own their own Fuzzy Peach Frozen Yogurt Bar. If you think this is the right opportunity for you, please contact us.
