Growing a Franchise
2023’s Young Ones to Watch in Franchising: Cliff Kennedy
Here’s 1851 Franchise’s annual showcase of the most promising and dynamic up-and-comers in the franchise industry.
- The Honoree: Cliff Kennedy
- Their Role: CEO of Frios Gourmet Pops
1851 Franchise reached out to Cliff Kennedy to learn more about his journey in the franchise industry, the innovations he is bringing to the field and his vision for the future of franchising.
Kennedy bought a Frios Gourmet Pops franchise in 2018 after he discovered the brand while stuck in heavy traffic. One year later, he decided to purchase the entire company. This sort of decision is on brand for Kennedy, as he believes you should always be willing to take risks in life, no matter what.
“Put 100% into everything that you do,” said Kennedy. “Every relationship you have, every communication you have with friends and family members. Take the shots. You might miss but at least you won’t regret it.”
