The selling point of a cookie dough shop franchise is a blend of cookie ingredients. Such dough can be either eaten without being baked or can be hardened by heat in order to make it a custom cookie. There are hundreds of recipes businesses use to make the dessert. The list includes cookies with such flavors as oatmeal raisins, peanut butter, white or black chocolate; and other desserts which contain the dough such as milkshakes, ice-creams and candies. In the USA, cookie dough shop franchise brands are very popular and attract thousands of visitors. Such a business also has a lot of other perks for owners. They require quite low start-up costs: an average concept costs $200-300 thousand; low overhead, fun ideas, a small space for rent and others. If you feel convinced that the business is right for you, consider top cookie dough franchise businesses for sale here. The list includes proven recognized brands that are ready to share their valuable experience with new franchisees.
