Boca Raton - 15 August, 1998 -

Ever think that franchising was out of your financial league? Guess again. There are a multitude of franchise opportunities to fit every budget. Low investment franchise opportunities generate a great deal of enthusiasm amongst those who have been dreaming of owning a business but can't quite capitalize higher investment businesses, established franchisers looking to diversify their business portfolio and people with an established business for which the low investment franchise would make a great add-on profit center.... A HEALTHY RECIPE FOR A SUCCESS Start with a low initial investment that many Americans will be able to swallow. Cut the fat by getting rid of royalty fees those ongoing payments that can eat away at a franchisee’s profits. Blend the investment appeal, with modest amount of overhead, cutting investment in staff, facilities and inventory. Infuse the opportunity with flexibility so that it can be full or part-time and allow it be run from the home. Mix in a fun-to-operate business and add the finishing touch a product that one can feel good about providing to others, one that tastes great and is healthy. That’s the recipe behind HAPPY & HEALTHY PRODUCTS, INC. (561-367-0739) franchisor. of the Fruitfull Franchise opportunity. Happy & Healthy Products manufactures and markets Fruitfull frozen fruit bars which are 100% all-natural, featuring real chunks of fruit and no sugar or preservatives. Franchise owners act as distributors, marketing through wholesale accounts, placing Fruitfull freezers on site and making the healthful snack available in a broad range of locations such as hospitals, colleges, universities, gourmet groceries stores, video stores, health clubs, drug stores, country clubs, beach locations and more. Points of distribution are only limited to the franchisee’s enthusiasm, imagination and territory. Other than that, Fruitfull freezers and bars belong wherever there’s someone who wants the cold, refreshing, purely sweet snack that is simply real fruit frozen on a stick. The locations are selected and maintained by the franchisees and established by Happy & Healthy. (editor's note information updated to reflect new investment options.)
