Partner with a World Leader in Ice Cream Franchising

For over 50 years customers have been enjoying more than 180 flavours of ice cream created by Swensen's. Today, there are over 300 Swensen's ice cream franchise outlets worldwide in several countries, including the USA, Asia, the Middle East and South America.

Swensen’s was the first national ice cream parlor to serve a premium ice cream that is all natural.  The business was built and continues to be operated on three founding principles that have never changed: Quality, Quantity and Value for Money. From full service, old-fashioned food stores to modern kiosks, we offer franchisees a range of sweet opportunities. Two types of Swensen’s offerings have evolved through the years, the Swensen’s restaurant and Swensen’s ice cream parlor.

Restaurant

Based on the American soda fountain concept, Swensen’s restaurant design incorporates dining areas that feature booth seating with attractive Tiffany lamps. The atmosphere is casual and exudes warmth and coziness.  The menu features full meal options ranging from soups to salads, pasta, baked rice, sourdough sandwiches and burgers, and a range of main courses including the perennially popular fish and chips. The cost range for a full, seated restaurant/café/parlor is $582,000 - $980,000.

Ice Cream Parlor

Building on its early successes, Swensen's is today expanding into new markets around the world with its distinctive ice cream franchise parlors setting it clearly apart from other premium ice cream concepts. Its broad range of sundaes, ice creams, sherbets and toppings is continually expanding through new product development to ensure that Swensen's remains the favorite for future generations. The cost range for an ice cream parlor is $208,000 - $427,000.

Swensen’s now has superb opportunities for entrepreneurs who are passionate about success and motivating others to achieve success.

When you become a Swensen’s franchisee, you become a member of our family. Besides being entitled to use the name, goodwill, trade secrets and recipes of our premium ice cream franchise, you become part of a proficient responsive network that collaborates to achieve success. We have proven standards of service and food operations, superior training and management to support you in developing your market.

Our commitment starts at the top, from corporate office personnel, to masters, to franchisees, to store staff.  International Franchise Corp acts as the franchisee's hands-on partner and provides the ingredients for success – the taste, the product, innovation, training and merchandising.  But, without question, it's the individuals selected to join the system who give the brands that extra dimension.

The company, positioning itself as a significant global player in the frozen dessert category, ensures that it stays at the cutting edge of new product development that allows it to quickly take advantage of new trends and patterns in this sector.  We offer a wide range of possibilities for customizing a frozen dessert shop for a particular market.  Whether we combine all of our products into a “superstore”, or tailor your store to meet particular market needs (a combination of just two or three concepts), your franchise will be a perfect fit for your local market, attracting the maximum number of customers.

The company's focus is truly global with mature growth already established in North America, Asia and South America.  While continuing to grow the mature markets, we are also planning aggressive expansion in Central America, the Middle East and Europe.
