Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory Franchise Model Overview
Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory stores sell premium chocolates and confections, most of it manufactured by the franchisor in Durango, Colorado and shipped to stores, alongside items made on site such as fudge and caramel apples. Full-sized stores run roughly 1,000 to 1,200 square feet in leased retail space, often in tourist districts, malls and outlet centers; a lower-cost kiosk format is also offered. The investment is moderate for retail, driven mainly by leasehold improvements and display fixtures, and the franchisor must approve the lease. Owners do not have to work in the store, but a trained general manager must supervise on premises whenever it is open, and stores must currently be open seven days a week. Product purchases from the franchisor are a core cost alongside royalties. Franchised since 1982, the U.S. system has slowly contracted, from 149 to 139 outlets over three fiscal years ending in February. Item 19 reports store-level gross retail sales by quartile.
