Gelatissimo Franchise Cost – How to get, Contact, Apply, Fee

The Gelatissimo story began in 2002 in the heart of Sydney, Australia. Churning gelato in-store, using secret traditional Calabrian family recipes, the word of mouth spread and before long, there were queues out the door. New store openings followed, and the rest as they say, is history! Today they have stores across Australia, as well as globally in the Philippines, Singapore, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

Today, our artisan gelato is made fresh in-store daily, with only the best ingredients. As well as our innovative flavours and indulgent ranges, we’re passionate about providing a range of vegan-friendly, made without dairy, and made without gluten options to suit all – we wouldn’t want you to miss out on a sweet treat with us!

With an array of flavours available in-store, choosing is half the fun.

Today we have stores across Australia, as well as globally across China, the Philippines, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, India and the United States. Our family is always growing, so we invite you to be a part of this journey with us as we share the love with delicious gelato!

We want to be the world’s number one gelato brand, and thanks to the popularity and desire for our delectable gelato reaching distant shores, we’ve been expanding our network of gelato stores all over the globe. Today we have stores in shopping centres, high streets and kiosks across Australia, as well as globally in Singapore, Thailand, the Phillipines and the United States including Hawaii and Houston, with even more scheduled to open across FY25 and beyond.

If you’re asking if owning a Gelatissimo means full-time involvement, then the answer is yes and lucky you! Welcome to the greatest job on earth. The responsibility of the Franchisee includes: day to day running of the store, training and development of staff, local marketing activities and financial control. We have observed that stores with owners/operators who are closely involved in the business perform the best. The passion and contribution they bring across various areas is a big factor in maximising the potential of the store. For this reason, we strongly recommended that the owner has a day-to-day involvement in their store.
