What sets Cookie Advantage apart from other Franchises?
- Flexible Hours & Starting Part Time
- Flexible hours is one of the most attractive feature to our franchise. Our program is designed to start with flexible hours. Many of our franchisees start part-time! Cookie Advantage is a business you can work in your spare time, and not leave your present job until your business is established. Most of our franchisees work a four day work week, Monday through Thursday. Since we are not retail, we do not have regular store hours. Great income potential with flexible hours and three day weekends are all possible with our franchise.
- Low initial franchise fees.
- Low continuing royalties.
