Why should you join Stella’s?

Strong Profitability Potential: We don’t do what we do here at Stella’s for the money, but our profitable model is a huge part of our success story. We’ll give you strategic vendor relationships, staff hiring parameters for better staff retention, cost-effective recipes and procedures, and perfected marketing designs. Stella’s gives you a strong, proven financial model so you can feel confident each day in business.

Our Stellar Stella’s Vibe: Holding fast to one of our core values, we are intentional about being Uncommonly Kind. Our customers trust that they will have a smooth experience each visit that will be made right, no matter what and that sets us apart from our competitors. We have a modern atmosphere with a hometown feel.

Creative Control: Just like a brewery offers brews specific to their location, each Stella’s ice cream shop has a unique menu created by its franchise owner. Don’t be limited by stringent, boring boundaries — instead enjoy the creative process of new flavor concoctions at your Stella’s location! (Just note that all flavors will need to be approved.)

Non-Stop Market Applicability: Whether you are seeking a single unit or multiple units, Stella’s is a vastly adaptable concept that works great in a variety of markets across the U.S. Our small 1,000 to 1,500 ft footprint makes finding a site that works for you quick and affordable.

Bold Quality: All of our ice cream and baked goods are hand made by our caring staff on a daily basis. We always use the freshest, locally sourced and highest quality ingredients we can get our hands on — like 100% all natural dairy base and 100% real vanilla!
