Not just anyone can own a Bruster’s. We Bruster’s folk are special. We’re all members of a larger family, joined by a heartfelt love of life and great ice cream! Many of our franchisees started out as loyal customers that later insisted they get a taste of the business too.

Our franchisees come from a diverse range of backgrounds but all have a few important characteristics in common:

• A commitment to quality product and service
• A genuine desire to make a positive impact on their local communities
• A desire to teach young people valuable working skills and life lessons
• A desire to bring people together

Other helpful qualities include:

• Business ownership or operator experience
• Foodservice/ retail experience
• Marketing and communication skills
• Management experience
• Finance/accounting experience
