LOVELAND, OH -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/10/07 -- As America's appetite for cookies, coffees and
other dessert items continues to grow, these multi-billion dollar markets
are creating various opportunities for businesses, investors and
entrepreneurs. As a result, an Ohio-based franchiser has recently announced
the launch of a new franchise model designed for small businesses across
the country.
For more than twenty years, Blue
Chip Cookies has been offering gourmet cookies made from scratch in its
stores and is now offering franchise opportunities selling cookies, branded
coffee drinks, ice cream and pastries. In some locations, there will be a
cafe model offering sandwiches, salads and soups.
"We're excited about the launch of this new business opportunity," said Bob
Heine, owner and director of franchise development for the company.
"Blue Chip Cookies is not just about cookies anymore. We've recently added
other quality branded products, allowing our locations to benefit from
multiple revenue streams," he added.
The company, which offers a solid support system for its franchisees, was
recently approved by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) to be
listed in the Franchise Registry, which helps expedite loan processing for
SBA financing.
"Our listing in the Franchise Registry is very significant. It will help
facilitate the start-up process for our prospective franchisees," noted
Heine.
With its new model, Blue Chip Cookies is offering three investment options:
a single unit, multiple franchise stores and multi-unit
development opportunities. Each option is accompanied with a
community-based marketing approach, which the company asserts will be an
important factor to a store's success.
"In this business, we understand that one size does not fit all. Pardon the
pun, but we don't use a cookie-cutter approach. Marketing strategies are
customized by region and for each individual store," noted Heine.
As an example, Heine cites the Blue Chip Champion Program, which is a
community-based marketing initiative. The goal is to immediately connect
franchisees with their respective communities by recognizing "ordinary kids
doing extraordinary things."
"This program is a foundational block of our regional marketing program and
will be a big factor to any successful Blue Chip Cookie franchise," said
Heine.
Blue Chip Cookies is actively seeking community-oriented individuals who
desire to operate their own business with the capacity to develop much
wider territories.
