Wiki-Licious is a home-based bakery franchise specializing in malasadas (Hawaiian donuts), cookies, and other baked goods. The franchise offers one of the lowest investment thresholds in the food franchise space at $8,810-$28,150. The system operates primarily under state cottage food laws, allowing franchisees to work from home kitchens. With flat monthly royalties of $225-$350 depending on territory size, the ongoing costs are predictable. The franchise has shown rapid growth from 1 unit in 2022 to 49 units by 2024, though the turnover rate is notable at 14.3% in 2024. The 2-year initial term is unusually short for franchising, and the system shows some financial stress based on auditor concerns about going concern status.
