Since then, it has developed into a West Coast staple for sandwiches, wraps, salads and soups.<a href="https://auntieannesfranchising.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=5-snack-franchises-we-love-2717496" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Auntie Anne’s</a><ul><li>Startup costs: $156,350-$445,000</li><li>Units: 1,903</li></ul>There’s nothing more enticing than strolling through the mall and smelling the delicious Auntie Anne’s baked pretzels. This brand found its popularity at — believe it or not — a farmer’s market. The freshly rolled pretzels became so popular, the founder bought her own stand. Not long after, her two brothers opened their own Auntie Anne’s. Now, you can find the franchise and its sweet smell around the globe at airports, shopping centers, train stations and more.<a href="https://crumblcookies.com/franchising?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=5-snack-franchises-we-love-2717496" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Crumbl Cookies</a><ul><li>Startup costs: $227,666-$567,833</li><li>Units: 3</li></ul>Yes, you read that right. With only three franchise agreements, this young company began its franchising journey in 2013 and is actively looking for new franchisees across the U.S. This made-to-order cookie brand offers a creative way to satisfy your sweet tooth. The bakery also has a rotating menu that offers new treats every week, giving a fresh flavor for every purchase.<a href="https://www.dairyqueenfranchising.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=5-snack-franchises-we-love-2717496" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Dairy Queen&nbsp;</a><ul><li>Startup costs: $382,000-$1.8M</li><li>Units: 7,087</li></ul>A classic ice cream favorite that has stood the test of time. This 1940s ice cream parlor has grown into the franchise it is today with more than just a cold, sweet treat to offer. Now serving quick, hot foods such as hot dogs and chicken strips, plus the smoothie options from its sister-brand Orange-Julius, this franchise is a sure stop for nearly any craving.
