Our Models
Several roads lead to Beef Jerky & Peanut Butter!
Tourism
Prime locations for our Franchise stores include tourist destinations such as National Parks, high end retail traffic centers, downtown walk-zone areas and malls located within the tourist traffic. Beef Jerky Experience has had historical success in these markets, capitalizing on more time and discretionary income when shoppers are in “tourist mode”. The tourist market traffic brings in new customers every week that can shop our unique retail store.
Fueling Station
Capitalizing on existing flowing traffic to and from destination locations is exactly what the Beef Jerky Experience Fueling Station Model is all about. If you have an existing station or want to invest in one available then this model is exactly what you’ve been looking for. There are many historical examples across the country and even one within the Beef Jerky Experience family. The Beef Jerky Experience in Dundee, MI has been a staple Fueling Station store since December 2007 and is still going strong to this day.
You can easily utilize your fueling station’s large square footage to convert a typical C-store into a Beef Jerky Experience paradise. Say goodbye to the isles of candy, chips and toiletries which bring you an average of 20% returns and say HELLO to a gorgeous layout of beef jerky, wild game, popcorn, specialty candies and so much more that can bring returns
of 50% or more.
Flex / Seasonal
This is a franchise model for a business that can open and operate typically between 6 - 10 months at a time for flexibility on a tourism season. This flexibility allows franchisees to capitalize on seasonal opportunities, making it ideal for markets with fluctuating tourism seasons. For instance, towns near a National Park can leverage the summer influx of visitors while remaining semi operational during the off-season, offering alternative pop ups or web sales to sustain revenue through the slower season in that area.
Pop-Up
This is an additional franchise enterprise option offering pop-up opportunities for 100 or less days once you are in the franchise system to add to your overall revenue and brand awareness. This flexible pop up option allows franchisees to capitalize on peak tourism seasons, such as the summer months or the busy holiday season.
