Opening a franchise in Alamo with a brand name, corporate training, and a proven business plan can greatly increase your chance of success. But if you aren’t sure which franchise is best for you, then here are two with minimal investment fees!
Frios Gourmet Pops
Founded in 2013, Frios Gourmet Pops is a mobile, tie-dyed wrapped popsicle truck. CEO Cliff Kennedy says, “We sell happiness for a living! You don’t have machines to clean up, you just have to unplug a freezer to un-thaw it sometimes.”
The company has over 40 locations and seven mobile units. A franchise can cost between $35,000 and $40,000 without involvement in the manufacturing process. Different varieties of popsicles are sent weekly and rotate seasonally. A few locations can be found in Texas; add Alamo to the list!

According to their website, franchises are available in Texas!
