Background

At a The Dapper Doughnut shop it's all about the doughnuts. They're always made fresh and to order - right in front of you. All you have to do is taste one of our hot mini doughnuts and you'll be hooked. There is a huge difference between our hot mini doughnuts and traditional doughnuts that are made in the morning and kept on a shelf all day. In fact, when you stop by one of our shops just ask for a FREE SAMPLE and we'll gladly make one for you - whatever flavor you want on our menu.

We offer 3 profit centers: retail location, food truck and catering. The Dapper Doughnut business model is simple - doughnuts and coffee. We make doughnuts for $.30 and sell them from $.30 - $1.00. Combined with coffee, food costs are under 15% - virtually unheard of in the food and beverage industry. Consequently, the ROI is fast.

A food truck can be purchased for as little as $22k down (on a $110k food truck) and can be fully depreciated the first year of business (further contributing the fast ROI).

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.
