Before I reveal The 2022 Franchise Of The Year<\/strong>, I need to establish a couple of things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I liked the shaver so much, I bought the company<\/em>!”<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The late Victor Kiam, CEO of Remington, said that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And his quote has everything to do with the franchise<\/a> I’m going to tell you about. <\/p>\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n

The CEO Of This Franchise Has No Idea I’m Doing This<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’ve never met a more positive person. He’s laser-focused on succeeding. His plans are usually<\/del> always public. And they’re always<\/strong> big.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a matter of fact, being around him is draining (in a good way<\/em>). His energy level is off the charts. Plus, we have a couple of things in common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first thing is our love of franchising<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second thing is something I’m a bit more anonymous about than him. But it’s good. <\/p>\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n

Some Recent Headlines For The 2022 Franchise Of The Year<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s important for you to know that The 2022 Franchise Of The Year<\/strong> gets a ton of ink. Some examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“PCF Expands Into Ten States in 90 Days<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The PCF Continues Rapid Expansion With a Multi-Unit Agreement in Washington, D.C.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“PCF Continues Expansion Into Ohio<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The PCF Expands Their Reach To Arizona And Michigan<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“PCF Adds 10 More Units In Florida<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“PCF Secures 165 Franchise Commitments in First Year of Franchising<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n

That one.
Wow!<\/p>\n

Because it (165 franchise commitments<\/em>) shows that a combination of Greg\u2019s\u00a0marketing<\/a>\u00a0prowess and a great product (according to the\u00a0reviews<\/a>\u00a0I\u2019ve seen<\/em>), are propelling this young franchise concept\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n

\n

What franchise already, Joel!!!?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The 2022 Franchise Of The Year Is\u2026<\/h2>\n

The Peach Cobbler Factory!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"each<\/figure>\n

Founded by Juan and Tamira Edgerton in 2013, this low-investment dessert concept is blowing things up<\/a> in the food franchise space.<\/p>\n

And Greg George*,\u00a0liked it so much, he bought it<\/strong>\u00a0in April of this year.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

*I consider Greg a friend.<\/p>\n

\"greg\n
GREG GEORGE<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n

Greg and I met about 10 years ago online, and shortly after that in North Carolina. He was doing franchise development work for\u00a0Shuckin\u2019 Shack<\/a>. We hit it off. But his friendship isn\u2019t the reason why I picked the Peach Cobbler Factory for Franchise of The Year.\u00a0I\u2019ve been watching the brand for two years<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The reason I chose the franchise he\u2019s the CEO of is because of its steady growth and increasing popularity<\/a>. And\u00a0I\u2019m not being compensated in any way<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Heck,\u00a0Greg isn\u2019t even going to know about this announcement until after it\u2019s published<\/strong>. I\u2019m not going to call him, text him, or email him about it. But he\u00a0will<\/em>\u00a0find out.<\/p>\n

Did I mention that Greg partnered with Larry Johnston, the former chairman and CEO of Albertsons Inc.?<\/p>\n

And that their plans include having\u00a0200<\/strong> new stores by the end of 2024? And even more in 2025? I didn\u2019t think so.<\/p>\n

\u00a0That said, let’s discuss the Peach Cobbler Factory franchise cost. Just in case you’re interested in buying one or two of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Peach Cobbler Factory Franchise Cost<\/h2>\n

The Peach Cobbler Factory<\/a> has several revenue streams. They include delivery, catering and more. But how much does a Peach Cobbler franchise cost?<\/p>\n

Investment-wise, the initial investment ranges from $157,444 and $458,274. The wide range exists because of the various costs associated with commercial space, geographically.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Product<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Peach Cobbler Factory offers around a dozen different cobblers. And they\u2019re all served with high quality vanilla ice cream.<\/p>\n

And although I have yet to taste one of their desserts, they sure look good! So does their iced coffee.<\/p>\n

\"top<\/figure>\n

The Peach Cobbler Factory Franchise<\/h2>\n

This dessert franchise is on a roll.<\/p>\n

Their products look delicious, the partners bring a wealth of both franchise development experience (in Greg\u2019s case<\/em>) \u2013 and in Larry\u2019s case,\u00a0serious experience on the operations side<\/a>.<\/p>\n

More Reasons Why I Named The Peach Cobbler Factory 2022 Franchise Of The Year<\/strong><\/p>\n

First off, the Peach Cobbler Factory offers something different.<\/p>\n

Secondly, it\u2019s not a cookie franchise.<\/p>\n

Third of all, it\u2019s not another ice cream or yogurt franchise.<\/p>\n

Instead, it\u2019s an emerging franchise in the dessert space that\u2019s offering a way for people who aren\u2019t necessarily millionaire\u2019s to take their shot at the American Dream.<\/p>\n

With that being said, will the Peach Cobbler Factory continue to be successful?<\/p>\n

I have no idea.<\/p>\n

Is a food franchise like the Peach Cobbler Factory right for you?<\/p>\n

Again, I have no idea.<\/p>\n

Is it worth a look?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s for you to decide.<\/p>\n

As for me, I can\u2019t wait to visit a Peach Cobbler Factory.<\/p>\n

For a peach cobbler with lots of cinnamon and vanilla ice cream.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
