Popular Canadian brunch franchise ideal for entrepreneurs with a passion for breakfast and customer service, no prior restaurant experience required
Canadian brunch franchise Ben & Florentine™ is seeking franchisees in the U.S. for the first time. For investors looking for a unique and easily marketable food concept to launch in 2020, the wildly popular Canadian concept stands out with its creative menu of high-end, yet affordable, breakfast food.
Breakfast consumption is expected to increase by 5% through the end of 2019, according to market research NPD Group. Despite this trend, there is little competition in the U.S. brunch/all-day breakfast restaurant segment, and no concept with a thoughtfully curated menu that is updated every 6 months, which is a hallmark of Ben & Florentine.
Backed by global franchising leaders Kahala Brands™ and MTY Group™, Ben & Florentine offers its guests a variety of fresh, innovative and exciting foods that go beyond the predictable eggs and bacon you can find at any restaurant serving breakfast. The variety of options range from smoothies to skillets, meaning there is something for everyone.
Breakfast has broad consumer appeal all year and all week long, from families enjoying quality time to business colleagues meeting over coffee. “Our restaurants have historically done about 50% of their business on weekdays and 50% of their business on the weekends,” says Jay Goldstein, VP of Franchise Development with Ben & Florentine. “This means that we have succeeded in capturing both the people who need a good breakfast before work, as well as the families and friends who enjoy going out together for brunch.”
Proven business model, strong training and support
Because Ben & Florentine is backed by Kahala Brands and MTY, every franchisee has full access to an in-house social media team, creative design team to help with marketing, a full-service construction team and more. Most of our franchisees didn’t have prior restaurant experience prior to launching their Ben & Florentine. We offer a rigorous training program that provides them with the tools they need to succeed. All franchisees complete nine weeks of training, beginning at our corporate headquarters in Arizona and ending with on-site support for four weeks.
Ben & Florentine already has a proven track record in Canada, where it has helped dozens of entrepreneurs realize their dream of owning a restaurant since our founding in 2008. During this time Ben & Florentine has perfected the business model, streamlined operations and continued to invest in new and exciting products and initiatives to help our franchisees be as successful as possible over the long term. In fact a very high majority of our franchisees are multi-unit owners, proof that the concept is easily managed.
Do you have a passion for breakfast food, customer service and the desire to lead a team as part of our rapidly growing brand? We are focused on U.S. expansion, particularly bigger markets along the east coast, with specific focus on development in Florida. Many Canadian retirees spend the winter months in Florida, so there already is brand recognition in the Sunshine State.
