Brand Summary

MilkShake Factory is pausing franchise development to lock in distribution before expanding to any additional markets. The brand has opened 25+ locations, with 30+ scheduled to open next year. Their top priority is making sure new locations open successfully, with strong operational support and supply chain. We expect to reopen for new leads in mid-2026. ~ MilkShake Factory® is a premium dessert destination, serving up handspun milkshakes made with housemade ice cream, as well as heritage chocolates crafted by fourth-generation chocolatiers. Having been successful in the $1.5 trillion Foodservice & Hospitality industry for over a century, MilkShake Factory is presenting the sweetest opportunity in franchising! Beginning in 1914 as a family-run chocolate business, MilkShake Factory was spun off in 2003 as a way to bring more business throughout the year to the family’s chocolate shop. Elevated by fourth-generation chocolatiers, MilkShake Factory delivers handcrafted milkshakes and chocolates with a sophisticated yet simple operation with a culture committed to fostering a familial culture. Furthermore, MilkShake Factory has a refined and proven concept with proprietary house-made ice cream and top notch ingredients, demonstrating strong unit economics that can efficiently operate at scale, making it an enticing franchise opportunity.
