Franchise Info - What it Takes

As we open our brand to franchising, we are focusing on finding a certain type franchisee. Those that share our passion for fresh, healthy, high quality specialty foods. Those that agree that the way you treat a customer is equally as important as what you serve to them. Those who understand the restaurant business is a lot of hard work, not a hobby. These are the kind of individuals and groups that will help us bring Garbanzo to markets throughout the United States and enjoy the kind of success we've already seen in Denver. We are reserving all Colorado markets for growth of our company-owned store, but other parts of the Mountain, Midwest and Northeast regions will be open for development including: Kansas City, St. Louis, Omaha/Lincoln, Baltimore/Washington, Philadelphia, New York and Boston. Other territories will be considered based on the strength of the candidate and market demographics.

So how do you know if Garbanzo might be a good fit for you? We're looking for highly qualified operators who possess:

• Successful multi-unit restaurant experience, preferably in the market to be developed.
• In depth knowledge of the market.
• An approved Operating Partner, who lives in the market to be developed with at least 10% equity.
• A commitment to a multi unit development plan, typically 10 stores, unless market penetration requires less than that.
• The necessary financial resources to develop the Garbanzo brand.

In general, we require:

• $3 million Net Worth (individual or partnership)*.
• $1 million in liquid assets (individual or partnership)*.

* Larger markets and/or agreements may require more. If you meet these qualifications, please submit a Franchise Information Request.
