Types of Franchise

Type A
Model Type A is our most common store type. It is incorporated within an existing building. The average square footage is 1300 SF. This allows for a full kitchen which serves hot food and the various beverages. This store type is also equipped with a handicap accessible bathroom and storage area.
Type B
Model Type B is a stand alone building that averages 3500 square feet. The property also includes a parking lot for it’s customers. This store type is equipped with more bathrooms than the original to accommodate for a larger number of customers. It has the option of also including a drive-through for customers on-the-go.
Type C
Model Type C is ideal for placement within malls, airports, train stations, and places of the sort. It is a compressed version but still serves the same amazing food and beverages. The size of this store can be averaged at around 400 square feet.
Type D
Model Type D is very similar to model type C. The difference between the 2 is that model type D can be placed in the center of a mall rather than being an enclosed location. It still serves the same amazing food and beverages but also allows room for customers to sit on the perimeter of the booth. With this model type, customers can get the full 360 degree view and experience of Cocoa Grinder.
