Mike Lea of Earle’s  sat down with Franchise Direct to explain why an Earle’s mobile deli and ice cream truck is such a stellar franchise investment.

According to Mike, Earle’s is “the most advanced mobile deli and ice cream truck on the market at this point in time. We deliver pies, hot and cold foods to industrial estates, business parks and offices.”

Earle’s was in business for 11 years, before launching itself into franchising in October, 2008. Earle’s provides all of the essential products that make deli vans lucrative, but includes an innovative twist: Italian ice cream.

“Earle’s is unique because of the concept of the ice cream. Most ice cream vehicles just sell one product. My vehicle can sell anything from a hot dog to Coke to a can of pop to a bag crisps, but the ice cream makes it very profitable,” says Mike.

You don’t need any past experience in managing a deli truck to thrive as an Earle’s franchisee. As Mike says, all you need to be a successful Earle’s franchisee is an interest in people and the will to succeed in business.

“We’re looking for franchisees who like to communicate with people, who are outgoing, motivated and have a desire to make money.”

The Earle’s franchise fee is £15,000 + VAT, and you’ll another £5,000 to get your truck up and running. But the franchise fee includes 3 to 5 days at the factory, as well as support during your first week. And with a franchise model as popular as Earle’s, there’s lots of room for expansion.

As Mike says, “if you’ve got a good product, people enjoying eating it on a daily basis”. Find out more about becoming an Earle’s franchisee today.
