Chocolate, Cookie & Snack Franchises

Chocolate, Cookie and Snack

While consumers’ levels of interest in some food items tend to wax and wane over time, there are certain others that will always be fan favorites. Chocolate, cookies and snacks are three of the very best of them. Think about it - when was the last time you heard someone say no to a piece of chocolate?

 

If you’re looking into buying a business and selling food items, you can’t choose a much more stable commodity than chocolate. According to data compiled by the National Confectioners Association, the confectionary industry in the United States generated approximately $28 billion in retail sales in 2008 - and that’s even when the economy was struggling. Chocolate sales accounted for $16.1 billion of that. Even when people’s budgets are tight, they’re still willing to spend.


If you’re ready to begin owning a franchise, then chocolate, cookies and snacks are all promising areas to get started. America’s interest in all three is strong, and it’s here to stay.
