 Kernels currently has 65 stores in Canada spanning seven provinces. Of the 65 stores, seven are corporate and the balance are franchised locations. You'll find a Kernels in virtually every major mall in the country, with no major competitors to the Kernels concept either in Canada, or anywhere else in the world.
The business of a Kernels franchise is unique. When you acquire a franchise outlet, you acquire a business and not just a store. Why? Because each of our stores has the ability, as a micro-manufacturing facility to sell not only our extraordinary line-up of products over the counter, but also to reach thousands more customers through wholesaling and corporate sales. The potential market for Kernels Extraordinary Popcorn is huge. It can be as big as the franchise owner's vision, persistence and commitment.
A Kernels franchise is a business that requires and responds to the personal input and attention of the owner. That is why we specifically look for owner/operators. We strongly feel that the franchisee should be personally involved in every facet of the business, from store operations to wholesaling and corporate sales. Owner/operators will be responsible for ensuring that the quality of products remain high, the right staff are selected, promotions are handled correctly, and so forth.
One of the main components of a franchisee's success is the human factor. As in any successful business, especially retail, and especially Kernels, the "Public Relations" aspect is paramount, from selling the promotions, to relationship building with the customer.
As a result, we carefully select our franchisees with the following attributes and criteria in mind:
- A stable financial rating
- A great personality
- Strong salesmanship ability
- Good interpersonal skills
- Highly motivated
- Great attitude
No special education or prior experience in our type of business is required for a person to be considered as a possible Kernels Popcorn Limited Franchisee. We only require Extraordinary People, committed to selling Extraordinary Popcorn and serving it up with Extraordinary Service.
