About Little Dessert Shop

Little Dessert Shop was established in 2014, as a premium dessert café, focusing solely on providing a variety of sweet goods. The brand’s concept is focused on providing a stylish, friendly and vibrant environment, creating an atmosphere of extravagance and indulgence.

As well as providing in-store dining space where customers can enjoy freshly prepared gelato, crepes, waffles, cakes and more, some of their franchises also offer delivery options, expanding their reach over a wider area.

With continually changing menus, a “make your own” option and limited edition creations, Little Dessert Shop has created a successful business model that stands out from other dessert-based chains, and provides an attractive business opportunity for interested franchise owners.

How much does a Little Dessert Shop franchise cost?

Little Dessert Shop offers franchisees a range of different options to start a business with the brand, including a kiosk, café and restaurant package. All franchisees must pay £12,995 to cover the cost of the franchise fee, training and initial property fees. In addition to this, each franchise package will vary in cost, due to the differences in shop/site construction costs, and the investment required for equipment.

The kiosk package is the lowest price option, requiring an investment of approximately £87,995 in total. A café package offers a larger store space, and requires a total investment of £126,995, while to start a restaurant, franchise owners can expect to invest approximately £155,995 in total.

In addition to the initial investment costs, franchise owners are also required to pay ongoing fees, which include a monthly management fee of 5 per cent and a 1 per cent marketing fee. Both are based on gross turnover.

What kind of training and support does the franchise package with Little Dessert Shop include?

Little Dessert Shop provides all of its franchisees with complete training and support to develop and run their franchise successfully, regardless of individual experience level, or the franchise package chosen. As all of the brand’s desserts are manufactured by specialist providers, franchisees do not need to worry about sourcing ingredients or cooking, and can focus instead on ensuring that customers have the best possible experience.

The Little Dessert Shop franchise package includes support from the outset of the franchise agreement, including assistance with developing a business plan, and guidance with applying for funding if required.
