Why is Koola offered through a license agreement, as opposed to franchising?
After spending a significant amount of time and money developing a franchise model, the KoolaBar development team determined that franchising was not the best model to support our programs. Like our retail placements, we needed a business model that was quick and easy to deploy. We have placed our focus on making it easy for our business partners to do business with us. The business opportunity program evidenced to be the type of business model that met our objectives.
Does KoolaBar offer protected territories?
Absolutely! Territory protection is offered per agreement. The typical agreement offers a specific geographic radius on which another Koola retail placement may not be located.
How long does it take to open a Koola retail location?
Time varies but normally we are able to get a location up and running within ten weeks of contact. Cart programs can be placed sooner. All timelines will be clearly evidenced per each agreement.
