We are developing a small, limited number of "Sweet Nel's" franchises in the Philadelphia area. Although we could open more, it is our philosophy to open fewer cafes and locate them in very high profile, magnet locations in and around Philadelphia. Franchisees are extensively screened, exhaustively trained and provided with an exceptional degree of guidance and support from the Sweet Nel's franchise organization.
If you've ever been to a Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour Restaurant, you know what makes us really special and sets us apart from other great businesses is our TEAM! And we would really like for you to be a part of it. Farrell's Cast Members all have fun personalities and enjoy a crazy, zany, whacky atmosphere. Every Cast Member, including hosts, servers, ice cream artisans to bussers, dishwashers and cooks, are able to deliver and promote "Disney" like service. We call it, "Happy-itis". If you have seen our appearances on The Food Network, then you know we are serious about our food, ice cream and creating great lifetime memories for our guests. If this sounds like you, and you are looking for a company that's growing and offers possible ground floor promotion, then we would love to talk to you about joining our team.
