About The Fractured Prune

The FRACTURED PRUNE has been an Ocean City, MD landmark for 30 years. It has been a tradition for many donut lovers far and wide. These donut lovers line up in the early morning, around the block in the anticipation of creating and tasting their own creation. The FRACTURED PRUNE DONUT SHOPPE is a Specialty shop for donuts. What makes these just so special is the way they are created by you. "You create em, we make em!" Our donuts come out hot and crispy on the outside and light and moist on the inside. We then take the donuts and dip them in any one of our homemade glazes of your choice, which you can top with an assortment of delectable toppings. These donuts are loved by kids of all ages. There is nothing sweeter than being able to create and have a HOT DONUT at anytime of the day. Many inquiries have been made to expand our locations, so that the donuts could be more than a tradition for people. They could be an everyday indulgence. So with great pride, we have decided to franchise. If you are interested in owning what we believe will be the next fastest growing franchise in the coming year, feel free to fill out the Questionnaire.

About CHURROMANIA

"We have reinvented the Churro to compete", says Ariel Acosta-Rubio, Founder-CEO of CHURROMANIA, at the Dolphin Mall Store in Miami, Florida. Can the churro displace the doughnut and the cinnamon roll in the United States? What began as a family business in an eastern coastal town in Venezuela has become a transnational franchise with more than 100 stores. Now, its owners and founders Ariel Acosta-Rubio and Maria Alejandra Bravo De Acosta-Rubio are betting that they will be able to turn a modern version of the traditional Spanish pastry into the most innovative dessert sold in Florida and worldwide. "We have rescued the churro. We have reinvented it to compete with any other kind of fast food", says Acosta-Rubio, founder-CEO of CHURROMANIA, the Venezuelan franchise with international headquarters on Miami's Brickell Avenue. Just as other franchises have exported the U.S fast-food culture to Latin America, Latin American fast-food franchises are slowly bringing the flavors of their countries to U.S taste buds. As the United States' Hispanic population and its purchasing power grow, the major metropolitan areas are ready to absorb the new Latin American fast-food offerings, says Marcel Portman, vice president for global development with the International Association of Franchises, a commercial group in Washington, D.C. In 2001 CHURROMANIA opened it's first store in the United States at Dolphin Mall in Miami Florida, and since then, at Miami International Mall, Westland Mall, Pembroke Lakes Mall; Broward Mall, Southland Mall, Dadeland Mall, Coral Square Mall, Walmart Super Store at Pembroke Pines, The Churromania Truck and Sawgrass Mills Mall; in Orlando Florida Festival Bay Mall and Florida Mall CHURROMANIA has expanded upon the basic churro, offering: BIG MANIA sprinkled with sugar or cinnamon and filled with dulce de leche, chocolate, guava, cream cheese, strawberry, caramel, sweet condensed milk, hazelnut chocolate (Nutella). TWIST MANIA: choose up to two toppings: sugar, cinnamon , dulce de leche, chocolate, guava, cream cheese, strawberry, caramel, sweet condensed milk, hazelnut chocolate (Nutella).
