Blue Sky Creamery vs Red Mango Franchise Comparison

The second-generation prototype implemented several technology advances improving reliability, ease of use, cleaning, and product quality. In 2002, the concession operation was expanded by adding the Minnesota State Fair. And the first retail location, a new ice cream shop called the Blue Sky Creamery, opened in Ankeny, Iowa. Plans were then completed for a new production model Nitro Freeze machine, the NF-3500. Armed with this new design, the marketing of the machines was launched at the IAAPA trade show in November, in Orlando, Florida.

At the time you sign the Store Development Agreement, you will pay the franchisor a development fee equal to the initial franchise fees due for the Stores you commit to develop. For example, if you commit to develop two RED MANGO Stores (assuming that neither the military veteran’s program nor the qualified existing franchisee discount applies), the minimum development fee will be $30,000 + $20,000 = $50,000. If both of your stores are RED MANGO Non-Traditional Stores (assuming that the military veteran’s program discount does not apply), then the minimum development fee will be $15,000 + $15,000 = $30,000.
