US Ice Cream Chain Marble Slab Creamery Awards Australian Master Franchise To Industry Newcomer

SmartCompany.com.au:

American ice cream chain Marble Slab Creamery hopes to open 30 stores in Australia over the next decade after signing an agreement with a Guam-based company and Australian franchising newcomer, Miteco Pacific.

The confirmation of a master franchise agreement comes about six months after previous owner NexCen said it would bring the Marble Slab brand, along with three other fast-food offerings, to the Australian market.

Instead, the brand’s new owner, Global Franchise Group, an affiliate of Levine Leichtman Capital Partners, said it has signed a master franchise agreement with Miteco Pacific and will soon be rolling out new stores.
