Frost Gelato

Frost Gelato

Frost Gelato is an international chain of gelato specialty shops founded in Tucson, Arizona, United States in 2005. Frost Gelato has received multiple awards for their gelato including being Tucson Lifestyle's Best of City for ten years in a row as well as being on Yahoo Food's 18 Best Ice Cream Shops in America.

Frost Gelato serves over 75 gelato and sorbet flavors all created fresh in store daily. The company also imports all of their ingredients, with the exception of milk and sugar, as well as their machinery from Italy.

The concept of Frost Gelato came when founders Jeff Kaiserman and Stephen Ochoa were in Rome on a hot summer day and all they could find was hot bottled water, upon searching for something cold they came across a Gelateria where they tasted the ice cream and were told that it was gelato. Both owners enjoyed the gelato so much that they made it a mission to try the best gelato each town had to offer as they continued to travel to other cities in Italy. Upon return to the United States, both owners tried many ice cream shops and could not find one that came close to the taste of the ice cream they had in Italy concluding that the only way to get gelato at the time was to make another trip to Italy.

Thus both owners searched for a way to make gelato in the United States eventually locating a company that imports ingredients directly from Italy, after spending days studying how to make gelato, the owners created their first batch and after sampling it felt the tastes they had come across in Italy. Both owners wanted to share the taste of gelato with their community and thus after a few months, Frost Gelato was founded in 2005 with the first store opening in Tucson, Arizona.

Frost Gelato has since expanded both in the United States and internationally since opening the first store in Tucson, Frost Gelato now operates in 11 cities in the United States across six states as well as in nine countries across the Middle East and North Africa including Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Lebanon, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Most locations aside from the original store are franchises.

Great American Cookies

Great American Cookies is a chain of independently owned and operated franchised stores that specialize in gourmet cookies, especially cookie cakes. It is a franchise brand in the portfolio of Global Franchise Group. With more than 290 stores in the U.S., Great American Cookies stores are most commonly based in malls nationwide, particularly in the Southeast. The company was founded in 1977 and has its headquarters in Atlanta.

Great American Cookie Company was founded by future CEO Michael Coles and partner Arthur Karp, who each invested $4,000 to develop a business selling gourmet cookies on the strength of an old family recipe passed on to Karp by his grandmother. That same year the first store opened in Atlanta's Perimeter Mall, which continues to operate to this day.

Coles and Great American Cookie Company were initially met with rejection from mall owners and managers. Leasing space was denied under the assumption that the cookie concept would fail outside of east and west coast markets. The first store in Perimeter Mall became successful in its first month, and the company, originally named The Original Great American Chocolate Chip Cookie Company but renamed Great American Cookie Company in 1985 and later Great American Cookies, first became franchised a year after its opening.

When Coles sold Great American Cookies to Mrs. Fields Famous Brands in 1998, the company had sales of over $100 million.

On January 29, 2008, Great American Cookies was acquired by NexCen Brands Inc. for its Quick Service Restaurant portfolio, which included sister companies Marble Slab Creamery, MaggieMoo's Ice Cream & Treatery and Pretzelmaker. Since July 2010, this portfolio of brands has been owned by Global Franchise Group, LLC, an affiliate of Levine Leichtman Capital Partners, and managed by GFG Management.

Great American Cookies recipes and production originate at its batter facility in Atlanta. Both traditional and original cookie flavors are offered at its stores, including: Original Chocolate Chip, Original Chocolate Chip with M&Ms, Peanut Butter with M&Ms, Peanut Butter Supreme, Sugar, Snickerdoodle, White Chunk Macadamia Nut, Chewy Chocolate Supreme, Chewy Pecan Supreme, Double Fudge, Oatmeal Walnut Raisin, Domino and Pecan Supreme.
