Since we opened our doors more than 40 years ago, River Street Sweets • Savannah’s Candy Kitchen has been proud member of the community, and has shown its devotion to its neighbors by giving back.

As you search for U.S. franchise opportunities including fudge shop franchises, consider allying yourself with a company that cares as much about their fellow man as they do the bottom line. We love making life a little sweeter for the people around us, and we have a candy store for sale where you can do the same thing. Our fundraising, donation and sponsorship efforts not only aid people and animals in need, they also increase visibility of our business and awareness of our delicious products.

In 2016, we contributed to many causes in the communities where our stores operate.

In November, we baked and donated pecan pies to the third annual Pie in the SCI. The fundraising event benefits Senior Citizens Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping people age successfully.

In October, to celebrate the launch of our first fudge shop franchise at Tanger Outlet Mall in Pooler, Georgia, we hosted a fundraiser for the Caretta Research Project. Proceeds from all Chocolate Loggerhead sales on Oct. 23 were donated to CRP, a hands-on research, conservation and education project that has been protecting loggerhead sea turtles on Wassaw National Wildlife Refuge since 1973.

Back in April, we were a sponsor of the third annual Wine, Women and Shoes event in Savannah, which raised funds for Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Coastal Empire. Our World Famous Pralines and glazed pecans helped make it a sweet evening.

In February, we were a sponsor of Love Walk 2016, which benefitted Wesley Community Centers in Savannah, whose mission is to promote the economic, educational and spiritual growth of women, children and families.

We enthusiastically partner with local food drives, Meals on Wheels, Bethesda Home for Boys and many nonprofit organizations, in addition to encouraging regular fundraisers at our candy franchise shops.

The River Street Sweets • Savannah’s Candy Kitchen franchise concept is so great, it truly sells itself. A strong reputation precedes our candy store franchise brand, thanks to our famous, mouth-watering Southern candies and treats! For someone who has prior experience in restaurant management or has worked within the industry in some capacity, the RSS • SCK experience can be even more fulfilling.

Some of the key components to running a streamlined, efficient candy shop operation include presentation, selection and location—all ideas that are very familiar to those coming from the restaurant world.

Candy  Presentation

One of the elements that set RSS • SCK apart from its competitors is the show-like presentation of products in each of our stores. Delicious candies and treats are made in front of customers while they wait – adding an entertainment factor to every customer’s visit. There’s nothing quite like watching a praline created on a marble slab right in front of you! Add to that top-quality packaging and display options, and our products seem to fly off the shelves. If you’re coming from the restaurant industry, you’re probably familiar with this concept of presentation – having seen it in plating, table presentation, and more. This gives you a leg-up in the running of a candy store franchise business!

Quality  Candy  Selection

Whether customers are coming to your candy store franchise location for caramel apples, pralines or pecan pie, the products on offer can make or break your candy business. This is not dissimilar to a restaurant’s menu, and those who are familiar with this concept will certainly understand the need for a superior product. Luckily, one look at RSS • SCK’s menu will assure you of that superiority!

Candy  Store   Location

Similar to a restaurant, a candy business will not thrive in just any location—a business owner must be thoughtful about where he or she decides to place their candy business. Anyone who has gone through this careful process before will have a solid advantage. Restaurateurs, in particular, will likely have encountered this particular aspect of business ownership before – making them even more prepared to own and operate a candy store franchise like River Street Sweets • Savannah’s Candy Kitchen.

When it comes to launching a Southern candy shop franchise business like ours, passion and business sense can go a long way! Restaurateurs are known for possessing these qualities and more – making them great potential franchise owners.

If you’ve ever thought about starting your own candy store, there’s never been a better time than now! Here are three reasons why opening your own candy franchise and joining the candy industry will be one of the sweetest decisions you’ll ever make:

Candy is a growing industry

The first chocolate candy bar was made almost 200 years ago in 1847 and people have been going coocoo for cocoa ever since! According to new research from Packaged Facts, chocolate candy sales in the United States are expected to exceed $26 billion in sales by 2018, up from an estimated $22 billion in 2015.

Candy never goes out of style

Unlike many products that trend and then fade out with time, candy is always a favorite. From gift giving to holiday celebrations, candy has become a part of tradition. With that being said, it’s no surprise that chocolate comes in as one of the most popular and widely consumed candy products in the entire world – Americans alone eat over 2.8 billion pounds each year!

Candy spreads happiness

According to University Health News Daily, chocolate has been known for its mood enhancing effects due to its chemical makeup, which helps explain that feeling of joy you get when taking a bite out of your favorite chocolate treat! Plus, seeing the joy people get when watching homemade pralines being made or fresh taffy being pulled is an experience unlike anything else. Why not help spread that joy to others by opening a candy store of your own?
