A Gelato Franchise with a Taste of the Old Country and Today's Appeal

When I was a little boy, my Italian grandfather used to treat me to luscious homemade gelato. Later in life, as big ice cream fans, my wife Dawn and I knew that gelato's smooth texture, rich consistency, and delicious flavor could only be found in this old world delicacy.

After we found the secret family recipes for the family's delicious gelato hidden away in an old trunk, brought over years ago from Italy, we started making small batches for friends and family.

The demand grew and grew, until we finally decided to open our own store to sell the delicious and freshly made gelato! And that's how Funari's Italian Creamery® got started.

Now, after years of testing and tasting and learning all we could about gelato, and opening more stores, we are ready to bring our treasure to even more taste buds through our franchise program. It's a deliciously fun concept -- so join us!

Why Buy a Funari's® Franchise

Franchising is a proven business method. A franchised business with Funari's® means you don't have to start from scratch (well, except your fresh batches of gelato each day!). You will have all our recipes, our marketing and branding expertise, our décor specifications, and more! Everything you need to start up and run your own Funari's Italian Creamery® has been packaged up for you.

  • Run your own business with minimal build-out requirements and efficient operations.
