Ben and Jerrys

To work in an ice cream store was (and maybe still is) every child’s dream job. To go into work each day and test the new flavours, what could be better? Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream are on the lookout for franchisees to join the herd and spread peace, love and ice cream.

A Ben and Jerry’s ice cream franchise, would suit people that are already socially conscious. Why? Each scoop shop is made of recycled materials and they also have a focus on environmental education throughout the company.  All their products also contain hormone-free milk, and they have a strong commitment to reducing solid and dairy waste, recycling, and water and energy conservation within the company’s facilities.

Plus Fitness 24/7

We all know Jetts as a leader of 24/7 gyms, but there’s one problem with them. They don’t have group classes. To be a part of one of those gyms you almost have to pay double.

To buy into a franchise, you don’t need to have any qualifications. You just have to prove that you are willing to follow their procedures and they will provide all the training for you.

7- Eleven

7-Eleven is a staple convenience store for shift workers, last minute needs, sausage rolls on a big night out and Slurpee’s on a hot summer’s day. They provide necessary items like milk and bread, hot food, coffee, snacks and are now focusing on petrol. They were voted franchise model of the year with highly satisfied franchisees by the Franchise Council of Australia two years running.
