Yes, we believe that it is vital that our Franchise Partners work in their stores.

8. What kind of training support is provided?

San Churro Chocolateria conducts a comprehensive 6-week Induction course for all Franchise Partners. Throughout this training, you will learn everything from how to make the perfect churros to how to manage a successful business.

Our committed Business Development Managers will also conduct regular store visits to help your business be the best it can be. 

10. What kind of return can I expect from the operation of a San Churro franchise?

When you submit an application and pay your application fee, we will provide you with a copy of our current Disclosure Document, which will give some historical financial information based on the performance of our actual stores. We recommend that you enlist the assistance of professional business, accounting and legal advisers to assess the viability of the business.
