Totally Nutz is an exciting new food franchise concept that is taking high-traffic venues by storm. They fresh roast a variety of the most indulgent and delicious nuts that customers are likely to have ever had. With twenty years of recipe development and perfection, their product scores rave reviews wherever they open. For their franchise owners, the opportunity is crazy.
Totally Nutz is a crazy and fun way to fresh-roast and glaze your way to success during every season of the year! Our fresh roasted nuts are glazed with cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla and prepared right on location. Totally Nutz can be found at locations across the country, such your local shopping areas, stadiums, festivals, fairs or farmers markets. The possibilities are endless.
TOTALLY NUTZ OFFERS TWO UNIQUE BUSINESS MODELS:
1. The Traveler model is priced at approximately $36,000. This is our ultra-mobile option for venues like fairs, festivals, or farmers markets. The Traveler is portable enough to be transported to most special event sites.
2. The Kiosk model is priced at approximately $69,000. This is our more semi-permanent set-up. Ideal for mall locations, or consecutive event locations, such as sporting events, airports and convention centers.
From the first time you smell the sweet aroma of the nuts fresh roasting in cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla you are hooked. We seal the deal with a sweet sample that you don’t expect it to taste so delicious. With the smell of fresh roasting and glazing in the air and fresh warm samples, our customers can’t wait to dig into their freshly prepared snack pack.
The unit economics of Totally Nutz are insane! Our locations in shopping malls drive more revenue in 2 months, over the holidays, than most businesses make in an entire year.
