The gourmet muffin-focused franchise concept is one-of-a-kind, and continues to stand out among other franchise opportunities, having been recently named in<a href="https://1851franchise.com/myfavoritemuffin/entrepreneur-ranks-my-favorite-muffin-among-top-food-franchises-of-2019-2710103#franbuzz"> Entrepreneur Magazine’s Top Food Franchises of 2019.</a>Beyond the delicious, carefully-crafted baked goods and intoxicating aromas,<a href="https://1851franchise.com/myfavoritemuffin"> My Favorite Muffin</a> also makes for a solid franchise opportunity. Citing a wealth of benefits and advantages to the business model, Franchise Development Lead Brian Evans spoke with 1851 on why My Favorite Muffin stands out as the franchise opportunity to beat going into 2020.Why My Favorite Muffin?As the only gourmet muffin bakery concept in franchising, My Favorite Muffin has no direct competition. Not only that, but the product itself sets it apart from any other muffin experience thanks to a proprietary chef-driven recipe and the use of using high-quality, premium ingredients.My Favorite Muffin offers two models for potential franchisees, a lower-cost<a href="https://1851franchise.com/myfavoritemuffin/my-favorite-muffin-s-spinoff-bakery-concept-puts-muffins-center-tray-2709663#mostRecent"> muffin bakery concept</a>,<a href="https://www.myfavoritemuffinfranchising.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-my-favorite-muffin-became-the-franchise-opportunity-to-beat-in-2020-2711869" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> My Favorite Muffin Gourmet Muffin Bakery™</a>, as well as a full-service café,<a href="https://www.myfavoritemuffinfranchising.com/cafe-page/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-my-favorite-muffin-became-the-franchise-opportunity-to-beat-in-2020-2711869" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> My Favorite Muffin, Your All Day Bakery Cafe®</a>.The total investment necessary to begin operation of a My Favorite Muffin franchise ranges from $234,000 to $338,000 and from $96,500 to $268,000 for a satellite store. This puts My Favorite Muffin on the lower-end of restaurant franchises when it comes to the cost to invest. My Favorite Muffin’s café concept also offers a store model with a small footprint, making it ideal for multi-unit deals within one territory.“We’re not only a leader in the category, but we have the proof of concept of a store that has been successful for 30 years,” said Brian Evans. My Favorite Muffin offers a simple, franchisee-focused business model with high returns and a good work/life balance. Much of Brian Evans’ work [RA1] with My Favorite Muffin has been centered around an improved franchisee experience, prioritizing new technology, systems and advanced support for franchise owners.Why Now?My Favorite Muffin also outperforms the average bakery with strong unit-level economics thanks to its unique position in the breakfast space.“In the restaurant space, breakfast couldn’t be a hotter category and My Favorite Muffin is at the forefront of innovative breakfast options,” Brian Evans said. ”In addition to breakfast, My Favorite Muffin franchisees have access to multiple segments including gifting, desserts, snacking and catering. There’s something available at My Favorite Muffin for everyone, during every season.”Along with the brand’s ambitious goals for expansion, My Favorite Muffin is poised to make gourmet muffins<a href="https://1851franchise.com/myfavoritemuffin/my-favorite-muffinr-is-making-sure-muffins-are-the-next-big-thing-in-foodservice-2711254#franchisor"> the next big thing</a> within the foodservice category.“Cupcakes, cookies and donuts have all had their moment in the sun as a trendy gourmet dessert item. My Favorite Muffin is ready to emerge as all of that and more,”&nbsp; Brian Evans said. “Other segments are incredibly oversaturated within the foodservice industry, but the potential for a gourmet muffin concept is wide open right now. The time is right for a single-item focused concept to succeed in doing what we do exceptionally well.”Why Do You Love My Favorite Muffin?As a franchisor, My Favorite Muffin’s leadership team strives toward being proactive, accountable and displaying a strong sense of business acumen.“We look for franchisees that hold the same values we have—a love of people, a passion for what you do and pride in your business,” said Brian Evans.&nbsp;He continued, “I’m passionate about delivering a quality product to viable markets, and I look forward to meeting more and more candidates that share this same drive for success. Our franchisees have the opportunity to become both leaders in their segment and experts in a niche, specialized focus,” said Brian Evans. “My Favorite Muffin delivers on every front in that aspect, including outstanding hospitality and a guest experience that has kept people coming back for 30 years.”The startup costs for a full My Favorite Muffin store range from $243,500 to $352,500 and from $100,300 to $283,700 for a satellite store.
