A Sweet Business Opportunity with Proven Support

If you’re looking to open a franchise in the dessert industry, La Diperie offers an exciting opportunity with a proven business model, built-in marketing support, and expert growth coaching. As part of Kahala Brands™ franchise brands, one of the largest restaurant franchisors in the world, we provide franchise owners with the tools, training, and resources they need to operate efficiently and build a thriving business.

La Diperie has already proven our concept in a competitive market. Now we’re bringing this opportunity to entrepreneurs in the United States, where the demand for high-quality, creative ice cream experiences continues to grow.

“The United States is wild about ice cream,” says Sam Arif, co-founder and President of La Diperie in Canada. “The success we’ve had in Canada—despite being a much smaller market—is strong validation that La Diperie™ is positioned to do extremely well in the U.S. We can’t wait to see how big we can get!”

A Proven Business Model Backed By Experience

La Diperie takes a classic favorite—soft serve ice cream—and turns it into a customizable experience like no other. Our menu offers over 31 signature dips, including flavors like S’mores, Key Lime Pie, and Cheesecake, along with a variety of premium toppings. Customers love the ability to craft their own perfect dessert, making every visit a fun and unique experience.

But beyond the product itself, our franchise model is built for efficiency. With a small footprint, minimal equipment requirements, and simple operations, La Diperie makes it easy for franchisees to manage inventory, train employees, and serve customers quickly.

“La Diperie is an extremely scalable business,” says John Wuycheck, SVP of Franchise Development with La Diperie. “We’ve worked hard to keep the barriers to entry low and to streamline operations, making it easy for entrepreneurs to open and operate their own stores.”

With a low startup cost compared to other food service franchises, La Diperie is a strong option for first-time business owners and experienced operators alike. Whether you’re new to franchising or looking to expand your portfolio, our proven model is designed to help you build a lasting business.
