The Original Rainbow Cone is an early-stage ice cream franchise with a 97-year brand heritage, offering three formats: Free Standing ($2.0M-$3.2M investment), In-Line ($403K-$812K), and Express ($205K-$340K). The system has grown from 8 to 25 total units over three years, though only 6 are franchised. Item 19 shows affiliate units ranging from $109K to $1.58M in gross sales, with strong margins but significant seasonal variation. The franchise offers protected territories and comprehensive training but requires significant owner involvement.
