Opening your own ice cream parlor can be just as much fun as it sounds like! Marble Slab Creamery offers a unique franchising opportunity to our investors who are looking to get involved in the exciting desert industry, and to have fun while doing it. One thing you might not realize about Marble Slab Creamery is that we encourage our franchisees to be creative with their menu offerings. Here are a few items you should expect to see on your menu after your location opens its doors.

Seasonal Offerings

At Marble Slab Creamery, we offer an extensive selection of flavors. We’re always developing new flavors to add to our lineup as well! Make the most of the space in your store by selecting your flavor offerings depending on the season. In the wintertime, highlight flavors like peppermint and eggnog. Create a few seasonal flavor combinations to showcase on your menu board that you think will appeal to customers. Being creative with seasonal offerings is a great way to keep your menu looking and feeling fresh all year round.

Regional Offerings

We’re proud to say that we have Marble Slab Creameries all across the country, and have available territories in many states. Help your store to stand out by offering menu items that are specific to your region. Great ways to do this are by thinking up combinations of mix-ins that reflect something about your area. For instance, if camping is popular in your area, develop a s’mores-themed mix-in combination and give it a name that reflects a local state park or campground. If there’s a university in your area, think up a sundae that pulls in all of the school’s colors. Capitalize on popular professional sports teams by inventing ice cream treats that reflect their colors and mascot. When it comes to regional offerings, the possibilities are endless.

An Emphasis on Creativity

Marble Slab Creamery customers love that they can look to our menu to find inspiration, but ultimately they are the ones who get to decide exactly how they’d like their ice cream. Whether they feel comfortable ordering straight off of the menu or adding mix-ins to create their own customized flavor, your menu should inspire your customers to think about their ice cream in new and exciting ways. Showcasing popular ice cream creations while emphasizing that customers can add, change, or remove anything they’d like is a great way to accomplish this.

These are just three qualities that your menu should have when you take advantage of this exciting franchising opportunity and open your doors for the first time. Our training and support program will help to provide you with plenty more ideas and inspirations when it comes to your menu. Reach out to us today to get started!
