WHAT TOOK SO LONG?
From the very beginning, we built Drizzl’d with one goal in mind—growth through strength and stability. Long before we served our first hot ball doughnuts, our planning was centred around a growth mindset. Every decision, from branding to operations, was made not just for the present, but with a clear vision for the future. Scalability wasn’t an afterthought—it was the very foundation we built upon.
The sweetest dream you deserve!
Too often, businesses shift into growth mode only after they’ve launched. But by that stage, it becomes significantly harder. Retrofitting systems, reshaping mindset, and restructuring processes can be a costly and time-consuming challenge. We were determined not to fall into that trap. From day one, our business structure was intentionally crafted for both scalability and long-term sustainability.
Of course, a strong foundation means little unless it’s tested. And over the past few years, we’ve been put to the test. With rising costs of living, fluctuating consumer confidence, and broader economic instability, the post-COVID business landscape has challenged small businesses like never before. For us, this wasn’t just a hurdle—it was a proving ground.
Although we received franchising interest early on, we made a deliberate decision to hold off. We wanted to observe how the business would perform under pressure. We weren’t building Drizzl’d for quick wins—we were building it to last. And we knew we couldn’t confidently offer franchises until we’d seen how our systems held up in the most challenging of times.
Now, as we settle into 2025 and see early signs of economic recovery, we can proudly say that Drizzl’d not only survived, but adapted and thrived. While many businesses scaled back or closed their doors, we remained open, refined our operations, and continued to grow stronger. We’ve learned, evolved, and reinforced our commitment to excellence.
What we’ve learned is this: our model is not only profitable, it’s resilient. It’s designed to withstand change, to scale up confidently, and to operate without requiring the owner to be in-store every day. For prospective franchisees, this is a key consideration—can the business succeed without constant oversight? At Drizzl’d, the answer is a confident yes.
Now, with the foundation tested and proven, we’re opening the doors to franchising—not with blind optimism, but with clarity, confidence, and years of preparation behind us. We’ve taken the long route for good reason, and we’re now ready to welcome the right partners who want to be part of something truly special.
