Step into the $12 billion (and growing) ice cream industry with a franchise designed for simplicity, profitability, and fun. Vintage Spoon Ice Cream Social offers investors an opportunity to own a business that runs lean, delivers strong margins, and spreads joy in every scoop. With projected industry growth to $32 billion by 2033, the timing couldn’t be better to invest in a concept built for scalability and success.
Vintage Spoon stands apart with a proven business model that keeps operations streamlined—low start-up costs, low labor requirements, and semi-absentee ownership options. Our franchisees enjoy profit margins of 20–35% when well run, thanks to smart unit economics, low overhead, and an average order value that’s double the national fast-casual average. This is a brand designed for owners who want to work on their business, not in it 24/7.
We provide comprehensive training, ongoing field and marketing support, real estate and design guidance, bi-weekly manager calls, and monthly strategy meetings. With SBA loan approval and strong banking partnerships, Vintage Spoon provides a smooth and strategic path to ownership for both first-time entrepreneurs and experienced investors.
Ideal locations are 1,200–2,000 sq. ft. spaces in high-traffic residential or tourist areas—perfect for showcasing beautifully crafted treats and creating lasting memories. Backed by founder Chris Collins, a seasoned restaurant professional and Purdue University Restaurant Management alumnus, Vintage Spoon Ice Cream Social is poised for national growth.
