Chris Covelli, founder of #getfried, is creating a network of food units that serve made-to-order topped French fries. Franchising for about a year at the time of this interview, Covelli has sold units in New York and Texas. His first Texas franchisee, based in San Antonio, acquired rights to the entire state! Franchisees invest from $100,000 (for a mobile unit) to $275,000 (for a bricks and mortar unit). Mobile units can be parked and operated, or moved from site to site. College campuses are popular, but so are entertainment districts. Training for a #getfried franchisee consists of four days in Buffalo and then on-site training. Covelli says food experience is not necessary to buy a franchise, but you must be passionate about producing fried food!
