EXAMPLE: We awarded our franchise to two young couples who were right out of college and had very little work experience. They literally had only been servers in restaraunts. These two different sets of young inexperienced franchisees, one in the State of Georgia and the other in the State of California, had $1-million centers within their first five years in business.

Big Frog Franchise should never be presented as just a "T-shirt shop."

If Big Frog is presented as a T-shirt shop, your clients will have the mindset that they do not have to leave their store in order to grow their business, and that all of their customers will just walk in the front door. That could not be farther from the truth! Our most successful franchisees are networkers who are actively involved in their communities. The Big Frog Franchise has numerous advantages: The top 25% of our franchisees are nearly $1-million stores, averaging $959,528 in sales in 2023.
