Do you love connecting people with their childhood favorites? If so, you might be an ideal  franchise owner with us! We’re looking for people who are ready to get involved in their  communities, and who are prepared to work hard to reach their goals. We don’t require  foodservice or retail experience; all we need is enthusiasm and a willingness to learn! We seek  financially qualified individuals or investors who want to be part of a brand with heart. If our  franchise approach appeals to you, let’s continue the conversation. 

Every new owner gets initial training with our franchise management team, and receives both in class and hands-on lessons to help them get familiar with our systems and way of working. Our  franchise team supports you as you get started — they’ll be with you to assist in territory  selection, build out, and store preparation. After the initial period, the team will be on call to aid  you whenever you contact them with a concern. Our sweet shop franchise owners also get  access to our confidential operations manual and proprietary recipe book. 

The estimated initial investment necessary to begin operations ranges from $147,200 to $438,500. As with any new venture, it’s important to have adequate capital to fund the initial business growth stages.

We do not provide direct financing to franchise owners, but we may refer to financing sources on  a case-by-case basis.

We collect a royalty fee equal to 6% of gross revenues. These fees allow us to fund our support services and development of programs, marketing tools, training programs, and systems upgrades. For a full list of fees and requirements, please refer to our Franchise Disclosure  Document (FDD).

Franchise owners will be required to spend a minimum of 1% and up to a maximum of 2% of net revenues on local marketing. You will also contribute a minimum of 1% and up to a maximum of  3% of net revenues into the brand marketing fund. Collected funds will be used to develop  marketing strategies to promote the Jordan E.’s Popcorn & Candy Co. brand and cover the  creative costs to develop branded marketing materials and campaigns. 

The initial term of your agreement is ten years, with two subsequent successor agreement  options of five years each.
