Smiling Moose Deli Offers Franchisees Something Fresh

With so many restaurant franchise options available in today’s marketplace, it can be difficult for investors to identify the right opportunity. Smiling Moose Deli, the premier fast-casual deli-style restaurant experience, is taking its franchise operations to new heights by offering a fundamental, honest and proven system.

“We realize that it’s a competitive marketplace for franchises,” says Director of Development Larry Hill. “That’s one reason why we take a very detailed and thoughtful approach to franchising and work to offer investors the kind of support that will help them succeed.”

Franchise support begins by working closely with new store owners to educate them about what it takes to operate a Smiling Moose Deli. Before a franchisee can open their doors, they must complete Smiling Moose Deli’s Moose Tracks Training Program. This one-of-a-kind business course not only gives each store owner the managerial and operational skills needed to run their deli, but also offers valuable lessons learned from opening current Smiling Moose Deli franchises.

Once training is complete, Smiling Moose helps each store prepare for a successful opening with a “Grand Opening Kit” and access to the Advertising Creative Library. With newspaper advertisements, logos, artwork and other promotional materials, the Library helps franchisees market their deli easily and effectively. To attract event business, Smiling Moose also offers a popular customizable catering program featuring sandwich trays, dessert trays, bagel trays, breakfast trays, soup and salad options and boxed lunches for groups of 3 to 300.

The continued growth is not only a result of delicious food, a great concept and exceptional customer service, but also a commitment to each store’s success through effective franchise support and company policies. For instance, Smiling Moose does not markup its goods or services, but instead passes all negotiated rebates back to the stores and the Brand Development Fund. As a result, all stores, both Company and Franchise, have the same supply costs. Smiling Moose also offers an exclusive territory around each store to reduce competition and promote goodwill. From the ground up, Smiling Moose is committed to supporting each new franchisee from the first day they open their doors to the time when they become their community’s destination deli.
