Blue Chip Cookies Franchise Information

For more than 20 years, Blue Chip Cookies has been delighting customers with premium gourmet cookies that are made fresh daily, from scratch, using the finest ingredients. And now, we're expanding the fabulous Blue Chip Cookies brand to include a variety of tempting product options. Delicious gourmet coffee, gourmet ice cream, gelato and sorbet are now being served to augment our famous cookies.

In addition, we are offering the Blue Chip Cookies franchise in two dynamic investment options: single unit, start-up stores, or multi-unit area development opportunities. Our franchise management team will work with you to create an investment that fits your financial needs and goals. The "Blue Chip" in our name cleverly conveys both our mainstay product and high standards. No detail is overlooked; from the upscale ambience and appearance of our stores, to our exceptional food offerings, to our superior customer service, excellence is the driving force behind all aspects of the Blue Chip operation. Our commitment to excellence goes beyond freshness and flavor - our cookies, and all of the delectable foods we serve, contain no preservatives or Trans fats.

On the Rise

According to the National Restaurant Association, restaurant industry sales were projected to reach a record $511 billion in 2006! And there's even better news for Blue Chip Cookies franchisees. Industry analyst, Nicole Miller, has identified "premium" as an overriding theme in all consumer categories, including restaurants. Miller explains, "Premium doesn't mean expensive or luxury, but rather the small pleasures that get consumers to aspire to your brand, whether it involves coffee or quick, casual dining." And that's exactly what the Blue Chip Cookies franchise is all about.

Moreover, the market for cookies is not only set to grow, but that growth will be fueled by the demand for premium and indulgent products. Bearing this out, in 2005 supermarket cookie sales lagged while bakery cookie sales rose 12 percent. Clearly, more consumers are interested in fresh baked cookies!

Ice cream is universally loved, so it's not surprising that the North American ice cream industry generates about $20 billion each year. And specialty coffee continues its skyrocketing appeal in the $22 billion coffee industry.
