  6. PROVEN PRODUCTS“It’s addicting” • Customers prefer the taste of Carmen’s • Baltimore Magazine, City Paper honors • Better quality products than Rita’s • We innovate- first with Coffee drinks, Crunchers, Mix In Ice Creams • Rita’s prove product line works outside home territory (Ices began in Philly, NJ, NYC in 1920’s) • Do not compare to snowballs…they do not work in other markets…Italian Ice DOES! Frozen Custard DOES!

  7. PROVEN CONCEPTWe Are Not Reinventing the Wheel • Rita’s is the proven model in many states • Over 400 franchises already sold, project 1500 • Proven success outside original market • Why spend $250K on a store • We can sell franchises for a fraction • Rita’s only major franchisor in country • Market is wide open for competitors • We use the best of the operation and add what makes our different • Best yet…our products are better! • Mix-ins can sell for far less than Coldstone Creamery

  8. START UP OF FRANCHISING Open new model store in South Florida. Start up costs of $25,000 with location previously set up for food service. Most equipment ready to go. Operate store under franchise model including design, presentation, product line, menu, marketing Seeking store meeting specified demos including population base, location, nearby schools, parks, outdoor seating and ability to offer promotional and entertainment options Finalize the Federal Disclosure presentation to become legal to franchise. Finalize professional staff consultants including LEGAL, SALES, DISTRIBUTION, ACCOUNTING and REAL ESTATE. Sign off on deals for product manufacturing and distribution. Sales of territories instead of individual stores Options of new equipment, reconditioned and or leasing for franchisees

  9. PRODUCTS & COSTS • Homemade Italian Ices 5 gallons cost between $3-$13; Wholesalers are selling it to local stores for up to $100 • Frozen Custard is appx. 6 cents per ounce • Frozen Yogurt suggested for healthier or higher income areas is about 5 cents per ounce • Prices include paper costs (does not include overhead) • Super Premium Homemade Ice Cream with mix ins on the marble slab is appx. 6 cents per ounce • Other menu items include: SHAKES, EGG CREAMS, CRUNCHERS (Like a McFlurry), SMOOTHIES (Awesome with Italian Ices), SUNDAES • Bulk Sales for parties in 2 ½ gallon buckets • IN A STAND ALONE CARMEN’S STORE, FOOD COSTS SHOULD RANGE FROM 12-15%. A STORE SHOULD HAVE A PROFIT OF APPX. 50% OF SALES, CO-BRANDING PROFIT MARGINS AS MUCH AS 75%.

  10. EXPAND BUSINESS OFFSITE

  11. FRANCHISING IS SUPER HOT • Huge new market of investors from laid off workers, early retirements and buyouts, professionals seeking investments • Companies with simple products, simple concepts, duplicated concepts are selling well • Franchisees spending over $200,000 for single units • Carmen’s have been opened for as little as $20,000 • Carmen’s offers added revenue producers from store via mobile units, carts, wholesaling

  12. RECENT SUCCESS STORIES • Five Guys is simply fresh made hamburgers and fresh cut french fries. Imagine competing with McDonald’s…but that’s what this upstart did. Since franchising they’ve grown throughout the eastern half of the country. • It still costs $250,000 for a store, yet it is simple with no fancy floors, simple plastic signs and an easy menu. And people are lining up to buy them. • Maui Wowi had 40 stores just four years ago…now there are over 500. For your $200K investment you get a mall style kiosk location. A smoothie that costs me 23 cents cost their franchisees $1.23 before royalties and all you are buying from them is juice. They just cut a deal to open in Texas’ largest grocery store chain. Yet they have little to offer compared to us • Numerous custard only stores have opened with start ups over $500,000.00 For a mere fraction we offer a complete line of delicious products reaching a far larger market.

  13. FRANCHISING PLAN • Investment of $35,000-$60,000; Sell 3 franchises and recoup investment • Sell territories allowing multiple stores at once • Income derived from franchise fee ($25K), royalties (7-9%), product mark-up (1000%), equipment mark-up (20-30%) • License or sell franchises to existing food businesses to add to their menu • Can license/franchise to sell in airports, arenas, stadiums, amusement parks, travel plazas • Investor opening own store can underwrite investment

  14. FRANCHISING PLAN • Use existing store in Maryland or new store in Florida as model location. May require redesign to create “franchise” appearance • Purchase paper goods with logos, universal menu boards, signs, color scheme, etc. • FTC franchise disclosure is nearly completed • Acquire or share office space, create marketing and selling materials, initial warehouse and mixing space • Obtain all proper licenses and support staff, partners or services i.e., legal, accounting, etc.

  15. GROUND FLOOR OPPORTUNITY • Remember McDonald’s, Denny’s and Subway were once small…now fast growing Five Guys • It doesn’t take long to grow a chain • Our goal to be better and more innovative than our main competitor
