Crispy Cones

Get in Early on a Dessert Franchise Built to Stand Out

Crispy Cones signature dessert starts with fresh dough grilled to order, rolled in cinnamon sugar, and filled with soft serve ice cream and premium toppings—creating an experience guests simply can’t find at the typical ice cream or dessert shop.

After appearing on ABC’s Shark Tank and landing an investment from Barbara Corcoran, Crispy Cones grew from six locations to nearly 30 in about two years, with new stores continuing to open across the country. With a distinctive product, intentionally simple operation, and growing national presence, Crispy Cones gives entrepreneurs the opportunity to get behind an emerging brand while prime territories are still available.

WHY CHOOSE CRISPY CONES

• A Product People Remember
  Crispy Cones isn’t another traditional ice cream shop. Fresh dough is grilled to order, coated in cinnamon sugar, and paired with soft serve and premium toppings. The combination creates a memorable dessert experience that turns first-time visitors into regulars and gives customers something worth sharing on social media.
• Shark Tank Momentum
  Crispy Cones gained national exposure after appearing on ABC’s Shark Tank and securing an investment from Barbara Corcoran. Since then, franchise interest has accelerated, helping the brand expand from six locations to nearly 30 in approximately two years.
• Get in While the Brand Is Growing
  Ever looked at a successful franchise and wished you had gotten involved earlier? Crispy Cones is still in the early stages of its national growth story. New locations are opening across the country, giving today’s franchisees an opportunity to help build the brand as it expands into new markets.
• Simple by Design
  The operation behind Crispy Cones is intentionally straightforward. A focused menu, compact footprint, and streamlined systems eliminate much of the complexity associated with operating a full-service restaurant.
  Simple to train. Simple to staff. Simple to operate.
• A Brand Made for Social Buzz
  The novelty and visual appeal of the Crispy Cones product naturally encourage customers to share their experience. That word-of-mouth and social media exposure can help franchisees build local awareness around a product that immediately stands apart from conventional dessert concepts.
• Become Part of Your Community
  Crispy Cones wants its owners to be more than operators. Franchisees are encouraged to know their regulars, participate in school events and fundraisers, build local relationships, and become a recognizable part of the communities they serve.
