Imagine starting a new career where the toughest decision you make is just how much happiness can you handle? Rita Veras, Franchise Sales Manager at Rita’s Franchise Company, LLC, can vouch for that. “Our mission, as we call it, is that we want to be the happiest frozen treat experience in the world for you,” said Veras. “The foundation of the business when it was created 37 years ago was as a mom-and-pop shop, and that’s what we want to keep, that cozy feel, where you’re coming in for something nice.”

It’s that wholesome, family friendly feeling that keeps customers coming back for more, and franchisees thrilled they made the switch. “Rita’s is definitely for someone who is now looking to change the course of their career and have something for themselves and for their family,” added Veras. “One of the greatest things about being in an industry such as the frozen treats is it is a business that is going to have a high return. It’s a $30 billion industry that you are now investing into, and what’s more than that is the environment that you’re going to be part of.”

The community involvement adds another taste of positivity for future shop owners. “The biggest commonality is the franchisees want to be involved in their community. They want to be part of the community, sponsoring Little League teams or doing events, they get to feel ownership of their business, and we love that,” said Veras. “So, if you had the 9-to-5 that you dreaded going to, or if you worked in an industry or a profession that just got to the point of exhaustion, or even if you’re someone who says, ‘I did my time, and I’m retiring, but I don’t feel ready to hang up my hat just yet,’ all of those opportunities are available for you to now change and become your own boss!”
