    About Cartoon Cuts

    Cartoon Cuts is committed to selecting the highest quality entrepreneurs and giving them the opportunity and tools to develop single and/or multiple franchise units throughout a specific protected territory. As a prospective franchisee, you have two franchising options: becoming an area developer or a single unit operator. If you choose to become an area developer, you will be responsible for the development of a pre-determined number of stores in your exclusive territory. Success as an area developer can be measured by sharing the successes of the stores operating under your area development agreement. As Cartoon Cuts continues to make a brand name marketing impact throughout the country, area developers become the foundation of the company’s strength and presence in the marketplace. As a single store operator, you will share in the strength of the Carton Cuts name while realizing the entrepreneurial freedom of owning a business that is part of a multi-billion dollar industry. Depending on the structure of the real estate deals, investment options may start as low as $100,000 for a complete, turnkey, single store location.
