THE LI'L CONCEPT HAS MANY COMPETITIVE REASONS WHY POTENTIAL FRANCHISEES MAKE LI'L DINO THEIR FRANCHISE OF CHOICE!
AFFORDABLE UPFRONT INVESTMENT
The cost of starting a Li'l Dino franchise or developing a granted territory is significantly less than most major national fast food chains.
There are many reasons why customers love Li'l Dino, but it's our food that's the heart of Li'l Dino's success!
LOW OPERATING COSTS
The Li'l Dino restaurants are designed to run efficiently with a relatively small crew during meal rush periods. The compact space plan and equipment package keeps operating costs low. And, volume purchasing with the other Li'l Dino and Ultimate Franchise Systems restaurant concepts allows us to keep food costs low as well.
FLEXIBILITY
Li'l Dino Corporation has the flexibility to place its concept into almost any location with its Deli & Grille or Deli Express systems option. The Deli & Grille system offers a selection of grilled items in addition to cold cut sandwiches & salads. The Deli Express system requires no grille or hood system and is designed to operate in smaller existing spaces that can be found in office buildings, hospitals, and college campuses.
The Li'l Dino system allows individuals to become a single unit franchisee, a multi-unit franchisee or an area developer, who purchase the rights to develop geographic areas known as a granted territory.
SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR FRANCHISEES
One of the most important aspects of the Li'l Dino philosophy is continuous support of our franchisees. A member of the Li'l Dino team is with you every step of the way to guide and advise. In order for our franchisees to be successful we not only support you through the grand opening of your store, but to ensure long term success, Li'l Dino continuously updates you on the latest operation, business and marketing techniques to build a strong, loyal prosperous franchisee community!
Consumers today want quality foods. Franchisees seek quality opportunities with growth potential and simplicity of operation. That's the Li'l Dino concept, quality foods, moderate prices and a system that is easy to operate.
GROWTH POTENTIAL
Li'l Dino is also committed to increasing the value of your franchise through expanding the chain. We are always looking for new growth markets and excited individuals to join the Li'l Dino franchise community. Typically, the most successful multi-unit operators started with one unit.
