Dapper Doughnut franchise owners have access to 2 distinct opportunities: A Mobile Food Trailer and a Retail Store. The combination of operating both a retail Store Front + a mobile Food Trailer provides our Franchisees with the industries leading financial success model.
Dapper Doughnut Franchise Overview
Becoming a Dapper Doughnut owner is an exciting business opportunity. It is a great way to become a part of the restaurant industry and specialized dessert sector. Our franchisees get to be a part of a popular concept with a proven system.
If you’re reading this page you’re probably looking at different food franchises and no doubt have learned that most require a significant six figure investment. The Dapper Doughnut franchise is different. Most locations will require well under $200,000, and if you opt to operate a food truck, your out-of-pocket investment will be under $100,000. There are very few businesses that can operate with a footprint of only 200 sq. ft. and with food costs of 10%, so that will compute into a much faster ROI.

The Dapper Doughnut Franchise

- Uses a portable donut machine
- Enjoys huge catering opportunities
- Is a simple F&B model – donuts and coffee
- Has very low food costs (around 10%)
