Getting Started
Our easy, no-obligation online application form is the first step towards owning your very own Mrs. Fields franchise. This application gives us the information we need to get the ball rolling. Once we receive your application, a Franchise Development Manager (FDM) will contact you to answer any questions, provide additional information, and guide you through the next steps of the application procedure.
Preparing for Success
Before you begin this venture, we encourage you to visit Mrs. Fields stores in your area. Go ahead and indulge your sweet tooth. Envision yourself behind the counter, interacting with customers and managing the staff. Does this feel like something you’ll enjoy doing each day? If so, you’ll sign and return a Franchise agreement to move on to the next stage — laying the foundation.

And now the fun really begins! Our experienced Real Estate and Construction teams will work with you and your assigned FDM, guiding you through the site review and selection process, and assisting with construction needs to ensure that your location comes together perfectly. Your FDM will always be available to answer any questions.
Prior to opening your store, you’ll spend eleven days attending Mrs. Fields Famous Brands University in Salt Lake City, Utah, where you’ll receive a comprehensive training, which will give you the confidence you need to succeed as a Mrs. Fields franchise owner.

Your Investment
Owning a business is all about investing in an opportunity that will pay off in the future. But it can be disheartening if you run out of capital before enjoying the fruits of your labor. So, to ensure the greatest possibility of success, we recommend that prospective owners have a net worth of $200,000 or more, with at least $100,000 of liquid assets.
And, while costs can vary according to your location and specific opportunity, the following guidelines will help you envision things more fully:
