Training & support
Prior foodservice or retail experience is beneficial but not required; if you are coachable and willing to learn, the franchisor will train you. The process begins with an initial call and FDD review, followed by a culture-fit conversation with the CEO and Co-Founder, a peer review with existing franchise owners, and a Discovery Day at the flagship location in Sarasota. Upon being awarded a franchise, owners receive a Welcome Call to begin onboarding and site selection.
Ideal candidate
Le Macaron seeks entrepreneurial-minded individuals who think and dream big, welcoming both experienced area developers and first-time entrepreneurs. The franchise is family-oriented and a great fit for husband-wife teams, parents and their children, or siblings wanting to start a business together. Single-unit candidates should have a good credit score, liquid capital of at least $100,000, and a net worth exceeding $350,000.
