The concept affords guests a premium selection of breakfasts, desserts, gifts and snacks—and also caters for office meetings, birthdays, visits with friends or celebrations of any kind. That combination of variety and quality means that a My Favorite Muffin purchase on behalf of a colleague, friend or loved one carries all the “thinking of you” generosity that has become a hallmark of Southern culture.Walters also pointed out that My Favorite Muffin aligns well with Tampa's culture—a city uniquely defined by both history and tourism.&nbsp;“You have a lot of foodies in Tampa who will respond positively to our wide variety of muffin flavors,” explained Walters. “But you also have a lot of tourism, and nothing satisfies when you’re in transit quite like a delicious, gourmet muffin.”“Tampa really is a thriving market for food franchises because it has become a hot food destination,” added Brian Evans, My Favorite Muffin’s Franchise Development Lead.In addition to a Tampa-aligned offering that positions franchise owners for success in the market, My Favorite Muffin also brings a tailored franchise opportunity to the table for prospective franchisees. The gourmet muffin concept can be operated within the framework of two different business models: a lower-cost muffin bakery concept or a full-service café.&nbsp;This provides franchisees with the choice to opt for a lower barrier of entry, should they so choose. In addition, they are signing on with a brand that can claim the executive leadership to support its entire franchise system. My Favorite Muffin is guided by a leadership team with the industry knowledge and experience to drive explosive franchise growth in Tampa and beyond, and is backed by franchisor BAB Systems, Inc., which also franchises and/or licenses Big Apple Bagels® and Brewster’s® Coffee.&nbsp;“We’re currently reaching out to key decision-makers and restaurateurs in the market for strategic partnerships,” Evans said of My Favorite Muffin’s franchise development strategy in Tampa. “And we’re leveraging targeted digital campaigns to get the word out.”Evans believes that Tampa could comfortably hold up to three My Favorite Muffin locations and that the brand is open to providing initiatives for franchisees signing on as multi-unit area developers and early signers.“We look forward to awarding locations to passionate franchisees in the market who are looking for a gourmet bakery concept without the higher cost of entry and inflated royalties of the competition,” said Evans.&nbsp;Startup costs for a My Favorite Muffin Gourmet Muffin Bakery franchise range from $234,000 to $338,000 for a full store or $96,500 to $268,000 for a satellite store.
