We understand: Franchisees are entrepreneurs. They want to leverage a proven system and run their own business. A simple, fun, versatile business. A business with solid economics that will support a profitable enterprise. It is this simple idea that has driven the development of the Annie’s opportunity.

This ground-up business planning started with developing an understanding of what would create a rewarding experience for franchisees, including:
di’lishi is the creation of Marlo Francis from Asheboro, NC. Her first experience with frozen yogurt came after her son told her about discovering the self-serve concept in a neighboring state when he left for college - and he was eager for her to try it when she planned her next visit. Before that could happen, though, Marlo happened upon a bar for herself, while travelling to a larger city near her hometown. After several repeat visits - including eventually traveling to see her son and trying the yogurt bar in his college town, it didn’t take long before she began dreaming about opening a shop of her own - one that reflected her unique interpretation of the concept. She wanted to create an environment that invited people to come in and stay awhile. She wanted to serve the finest yogurt and toppings that she could find, as well as a way to regularly contribute to the community around her.
