Kolache Factory Franchise Cost and Requirements for 2024

Background

When franchising is brought up, fast-food comes to mind for good reason. A quick service restaurant franchise to consider is Kolache Factory. The brand's kolaches are made fresh everyday, and customers appreciate that no products are made frozen. Its dough makes it stand out from the competition. Kolache Factory was established in 1982 by John Banks and his wife, Jerri, who took over the business after the original owners left. The couple kept the name of the business the same because it cost $900 to change. Since its inception, the brand has expanded to dozens of locations across the country and is actively looking for candidates to bring the business to their communities. Since it was considered to be a breakfast restaurant, Banks moved the location across the street to the "morning side." With that simple location change, business doubled overnight.
The brand's products are unique because basically anything can go into them. Brisket is a popular option to include in the bread, and customers appreciate that they can grab the product and enjoy it from anywhere. A fun way that Kolache Factory fosters healthy competition between franchise owners is the Kolache Olympics, and customers submit recipes on the brand's website. Exercises like this keep the brand creative and on its toes. The Texas-based franchise believes that its future is limitless. Ideal franchise owners are passionate about customer service and giving back to the community. Since you'll be provided with support and training, you don't need prior experience and training to be successful.

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.
