Description

HISTORY

In 1988, Randy Clegg and Wayne Curtis rented a storefront from Fritz Haertel, the legendary "Rye King" of Salt Lake City. Fritz ran Salt Lake's successful Beehive Bakery, and even as he was downsizing his business, he was giving rise to a new one - Apple Spice Junction.

As Randy and Wayne began Apple Spice Junction, a box lunch delivery and catering company, Fritz hung around the ovens and mixing bowls, offering gentle suggestions and imparting the wisdom that his 88 years afforded him. In addition to baking tips, Fritz taught the young entrepreneurs the value of hard work, the importance of being honest in business and that baking bread was an honorable way to earn a living.

Nearly 20 years later, Apple Spice Junction has garnered national recognition for its fresh deli cuisine, timely deliveries and courteous catering, and Apple Spice Junction franchises can be found across the country. Despite its impressive growth, the company remains true to its original mission statement: to provide fresh, healthy food with exceptional customer service, and to provide employees with a pleasant and profitable career.

Fritz would be proud!

Apple Spice Junction

Since it's origin, the company has focused on serving Utah's corporate community, state and local government. What began as a small deli operation has grown into one of Utah's largest box lunch delivery & catering business. By 2002, the managing partners determined that the time was appropriate to expand their concept. The company now has a national profile and is being franchised across the country.

The Apple Spice Junction employee enjoys a rewarding lifestyle that is not typical of the food industry. They generally work days, not evenings or weekends and are not required to work multiple shifts. This allows the company to retain their employees, reduce turnover and ensure a better experience for the customer.

Apple Spice Junction continues to grow because the staff is extremely friendly, provides excellent customer service and is sensitive to the needs of the business community.

We are looking for hard working individuals who have an entrepreneurial spirit and a solid business back ground. Food experience is not a requirement. We will train you in our system.

Apple Spice Junction is the ultimate in quality, quick service food franchises offering several different profit sources including new and innovative opportunities in:

Bakery goods

Delicatessen

Food delivery

Catering

Major focus has been placed on delivery, which allows the franchisee to do more business in a shorter period of time. Apple Spice Junction stores are usually open in the mornings for breakfast snacks and lunch and are usually closed by four in the afternoon allowing the franchisee to leave work early. Apple Spice Junction franchisees will enjoy multiple profit centers.

Two Franchise Options

Apple Spice Junction sells two types of franchises. The first is a general retail outlet, which is a retail deli and box lunch delivery business. The investment will range from $185,600 to $378,700.
