Launching the business in Newport Beach, CA, Chocolate Bash started serving its delicious food especially to the residents and tourists in Orange County’s most popular beach escape. The company formed in December of 2015 and opened its doors in the beginning of 2016. The second location opened in July of 2017 in Los Angeles and is similar in look and feel to the first unit. The menus feature sweet crepes, waffles, fruit salads, Belgian chocolate dipped fruits, hot and cold drinks, and more. They also cater for children with yummy chocolate treats that are always available at the store and the business has seen recent success in delivery with companies like DoorDash, UberEats, and GrubHub. Based on its phenomenal operational success in its current locations, Chocolate Bash is now launching a franchise program under the ownership and management of Founder, Rasha Albasha. The current locations will act as the prototypes and training centers for new franchise locations, which will maintain a similar look and feel (as much as possible) as the company expands into new markets. Chocolate Bash will be franchising the company’s operations in order to bring their unique chocolates, sweet crepes, and more to all parts of the United States and potentially internationally. It will provide entrepreneurs looking for a food franchise an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of an exciting new, easy-to-operate, concept that makes and sells exotic chocolate desserts in high traffic areas with little, if any, direct competition. Through franchise development, Chocolate Bash will have the ability to operate locations in new markets and areas without the cost and management responsibilities that would come with geographically widely distributed company-owned outlets. The Chocolate Bash Franchise system itself is well positioned and poised for growth. With its track record of success in two different locations, the business has been extraordinary from a sales and operational standpoint. We have seen competitors attempt to knock-off the concept and have moderate success but we feel we have a much stronger product and more refined operation. Chocolate Bash has a strong passion for its customers and general business acumen that will help launch several franchises simultaneously in a planned expansion.
