GABIE Adventures

The GABIE Adventures franchise is committed to introducing school-age children, K-8, to local agriculture and the knowledge of how to use it in their daily lives for sustenance. The GABIE franchisee travels to local schools in a very robust territory with a retrofitted, previously-owned yellow school bus. This bus serves as a mobile classroom with structured lessons and interactive stations that focus on teaching children how to become self-sustaining by developing an interest in planting their own food at home or in community gardens.

Background

GABIE is a mobile agriculture teaching system geared toward students from Pre-K thru middle school. GABIE's mission is to bring an interactive learning experience to children that will generate excitement and promote interest in local agriculture and growing self-sustaining food.

The GABIE franchisee will utilize a refurbished school bus that has been transformed into a safe, interactive mobile classroom with multiple educational stations. The buses are wrapped with images of GABIE the Honey Bee and local agriculture.
The GABIE business model offers a seamless startup, the ability for recurring revenue with a strong repeat customer base, as well as sound growth potential (scalability). The model also has the added benefit of work/life balance and the ability to impact the lives of so many young students with new knowledge.

With little direct competition and a strong brand, Founder and CEO, Lisa Williams, recognized the industry potential with GABIE, creating a management model which allows Franchise Owners to capitalize on the very high margins with low expenses and scalability of the business.
