Cookies By Design Franchise Cost and Requirements for 2024

Background

Cookies by Design has incorporated the business of gifting with the love of baked goods into one successful franchise. Combining the local bakery retail shop offering personalized gifts and local hand delivery with the cookiesbydesign.com online ordering site, gives each location a national selling reach with a neighborhood delivery touch.

Each retail franchise receives a protected territory to invest in and grow as a part of their respective community. The Cookie by Design shop is the hub of the local business designed to optimize the customers in-shop retail experience, while efficiently producing gifts to be delivered throughout the territory.

Cookies by Design believes the power of relationships is the best growth strategy both locally and nationally. Our overreaching goal is to make the connection between our purchaser and their gift recipient by using our creativity, superior product offerings and delivery processes. There is no feeling in the retail world that can top the feeling one receives when witnessing the reaction of a Cookies by Design gift recipient.

Buying a Franchise Guide: What is a Franchise Disclosure Document?

When evaluating a franchise opportunity, reading and understanding the current version of their FDD is a necessity. Considering the benefits of franchising, such as established brand recognition and support from the franchisor, it's important to also take into account franchise fees and franchising royalty fees. Since most franchisors are privately owned companies, the current versions of their FDDs are typically not available unless requested directly from them.
