Sweet Shop franchises
Indian sweets are very much in demand during celebrations in India. These delicate sweet creations are called ‘mithai’ and are perishable with a short shelf life. But that doesn’t deter their fan following. Indian sweets like jalebi, ras malai, pedha, chocolate barfi, kaju katli, malai pedha, rabdi, laddoo, gulab jamun, kalakand, phirni, sandesh, rasgulla, basundi, etc. make up most of the Indian sweets on offer. Every state has its own specialty of sweets and no Indian celebration is complete without it.
Sweets are a hit throughout the year. But nowadays Western sweets have invaded the market and you can find chocolates, marzipan, fudge, praline, and an assorted mix of desserts selling freely at supermarkets and malls. Sweet shop franchises are still popular despite the Western influence, and require relatively lesser investment to start.
Sweet shop franchises are available for investment in India as well as overseas. The sweets are mostly made with flour, sugar, milk, ghee and dry fruits. Indian sweets are great after a meal and also to announce some good news like a pregnancy or graduation. These sweet shops also serve Indian snacks, like samosas, vadas, pakoras, tikkis, sandwiches and drinks like lassi and chaas.

Why sweet shop franchises?
Sweet shops are lucrative business despite the sweets having a short shelf life. Not only do they serve sweets, they also serve Indian snacks and ‘namkeens’, and have a steady footfall throughout the day. Sweets are big business, since someone is always celebrating something or getting a craving for sweets.
Experts say that sweet shop businesses can rake up to 40% margin, which makes this industry really lucrative. Not just that Indians all over the world also prefer Indian sweets and look for it in their respective countries. A sweet shop franchise makes sense for all the right reasons. Entrepreneurs and investors are ready to pour in big bucks and expand their franchise far and wide.
Brands looking for investors, however, insist that the franchisee know something about Indian sweet-making, because these kinds of desserts are easily perishable and require special attention. Sweet shop franchises are unlike regular food franchises as these can be run only by Indians with knowhow.
