Since 2013, Eight Turn Crêpe has delivered consistency, freshness and a combination of flavors and unique crêpe recipes that are unmatched. Marleen Zhik, president of franchising, spoke about the sweet offerings available to franchisees who want to invest in the popular eatery with a simple business model.
How is Eight Turn Crêpe unique in its industry?
Eight Turn Crêpe is unique because our crêpes are made from rice flour, making them 100% gluten-free. While crêpes are typically served flat on a plate requiring utensils to eat them, our crêpes are artfully rolled in a cone. They are light and fluffy yet packed full of ingredients, making them a meal within themselves. We are able to target breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert crowds.
What does the brand’s model offer that other eateries (or businesses, in general) don’t?
We provide our guests a hip and inviting atmosphere filled with warmth, freshness, uniqueness, quality, and a commitment to consistency. We use proprietary yogurt-based delicious custards and tofu-based signature sauces, which offer our customers a lower-calorie experience without compromising taste. We deliver an affordable, delicious and health-conscious meal that can be eaten with one hand, on the go. Our franchisees have the opportunity to take advantage of our multiple revenue streams and build two successful businesses out of one model, with the brick-and-mortar location and catering business.
How is the brand committed to franchisee growth and success?
We are in constant communication with our franchisees and immediately work together to overcome any issues, which is imperative to our growth and success. Also, we make sure our systems are in place and that our franchisees feel supported. We are dedicated to our franchisees’ growth by providing extensive training as well as ongoing support and guidance with the site selection and buildout, store design, recipe and menu development, staffing efforts, vendor and equipment selection, and grand opening.
Why is now a great time to become an Eight Turn Crêpe owner?
It is a great time to become an owner now before all the territories sell out! It is also a great time to take advantage of no marketing fees implemented, as well as personalized support.
