Cowgirl Café Is Now Offering Franchise Opportunities
Cowgirl Café opens first franchised location in Northern
California
San Luis Obispo, CA April 2, 2008 – Cowgirl Café, a
family style restaurant founded in 1994 by Pat Addy, is now
offering franchise opportunities to potential franchisees in
California and other parts of the country. Its first franchised
location opened January 2008 in Red Bluff, CA. A second
franchised location will open later this year in San Luis Obispo
County .
Cowgirl Café’s unique theme is authentically Western and
the food is “Down Home Cook’n” at its best. The décor is cowgirl
and cowboy all the way. Tables are adorned with rope. Spurs and
Western clothing hang on the walls. The front dining room is
decked out in Western knickknacks, horseshoes and old farm
equipment. Walls are filled with photos of the American Old
West.
“We want our customers to feel that they are a part of
the Cowgirl Café family,” said Addy. “We emphasize hearty,
home-cooked meals. Our mission is to make customers feel like
they are having breakfast in their own kitchen.”
For over twelve years, Cowgirl Café has been serving up
the best cooking this side of the Mississippi . The food is
tasty and plentiful and the coffee is hot and strong. The
portions are large and the quality is unmatched.
Cowgirl Café provides personalized, hands-on training and
support to each franchisee including: a market analysis and real
estate location support; assistance with 3rd-party financing;
restaurant design, build-out and opening assistance; proprietary
information systems designed to help manage the business
effectively and efficiently; and, neighborhood marketing systems
customized for rapid neighborhood saturation.
Addy has retained the services of FranQuest, a growth
management consultant group, to help him franchise and market
the Cowgirl Café concept. Franchise criteria involve a franchise
fee of $35,000, ongoing royalty of 5% of sales and approximately
$200k to $400k required to buildout and equip the restaurant.
"Our goal is to open one or two more company owned
restaurants in 2008 in addition to two more franchised
restaurants,” said Addy. This is in addition to current
California Cowgirl Café locations in Paso Robles, Atascadero ,
Nipomo, and Red Bluff.
