How long does it take to become a Ben & Jerry’s franchisee?
Most of that depends on you and how much time you have to dedicate to our “discovery process.” On average, it should take between 30 – 45 days for you to fully evaluate our concept, for us to get to know you, and to mutually decide whether or not the “fit” is right. After Discovery Day, approved candidates have 30 days to enter into a Preliminary or Development Agreement; then you would begin your location search. Once you have an approved site and sign a franchise agreement, your site could be open in approximately 4 months.
