   If you love what a franchise provides (*proven operating systems,*strong brand recognition,*marketing plans,*training and *business development) but not the financial barriers (high initial franchise fee, exorbitant buildout expense, ongoing royalties and co-op marketing), our team helps you create healthy beverage bars that improve customers health and energy in a smart, economical way. The pandemic has caused so many cafes, coffee shops, ice cream shops, hair and nail salons, and barbers to go from temporary to permanent closures with no viable business lifeline. We\'ve been able to do a failing-business turn-around for as little as and have positive cashflow within 30-60 days. Plus, deemed an essential service during the pandemic, our operators have stayed open and stayed strong utilizing proprietary cash/touch free apps, curbside and delivery options. My team can help and we\'ll do 3 things to identify a potential fit. 1) Brief Business Analysis (current lease details, equipment assessment, general situation review) 2) Strengths/Interests interview 3) Healthy BevBar Concept overviewFrom there, we either agree to continue exploration or part ways as new colleagues and friends.My 2 questions for you are who do you know and where should we go?Text/Cell: 7••••••••@gmail.com
