In 2008, former Taco Bell executive John Antioco became an adviser to Red Mango. He helped grow the brand to 20 stores by April 2008. Later that year, Dallas-based private equity firm CIC Partners invested, and the chain grew to 60 stores. Kim told QSR Magazine that the brand began aggressively franchising in 2009.&nbsp;Today, there are 47 Red Mango locations in North America.&nbsp;<h3>What Is the Red Mango Business Model?</h3>Red Mango franchisees start by participating in on-location training. They also benefit from ongoing operation support, quality assurance visits and professional marketing support. The franchise does ongoing product and menu development, as well as system and technology support.The business has a collection of offers, including smoothies, fruit and vegetable juices, a comprehensive line of probiotics, bubble tea, wellness bowls, grilled paninis, wraps, salads, and seasonal soups. Multi-menu categories allow for pricing elasticity.Notably, there is no need for a kitchen hood, exhaust system, fryers, fire suppression system or other expensive equipment at most locations. Red Mango’s recipes are designed to be easily executed by unskilled labor, as it requires a minimal amount of food and beverage preparation.
