Thank you for your interest in information regarding a Lick's Franchise.

We know from experience that owning a Lick's Franchise can be the most rewarding business decision you can make. Many other people know too, which is why we receive hundreds of requests for information about Lick's and its franchise opportunities.

Opportunities exist for highly motivated, energetic individuals with excellent people skills and the ability to communicate enthusiasm, who share our passion for success and commitment to quality.

The following is an initial general overview for your review. Although not everyone qualifies to own a Lick's Franchise if you do and remain serious about joining the Lick's family, then we’re serious about talking to you!

Franchise applicants must have the following qualifications:

You must have the financial capability to open and operate a Lick's Franchise. The cost to develop and set up a Lick's Ice Cream and Burger Shop is approximately $425 000 to $525 000 (plus a working capital of $35 000) depending upon the model, unit size, layout, location etc. A net worth of $250 000 to $400 000 (not including personal effects and automobiles) is required, of which approximately $200 000 to $300 000 must be cash or liquid assets.

Opportunities to purchase existing locations may come up from time to time. Those prices and terms of sale are subject to negotiation.

You must be in good health in order to meet the physical demands of the business. We franchise only to individuals who will be hands-on operators or franchise partners with at least one operating partner, not to corporations or passive investors. You must also be prepared to devote your full time towards the success of the franchise.
