MilkShake Factory® was founded in 1914 as a small soda fountain and chocolate shop in Pittsburgh by Greek immigrants. With a legacy of handcrafted chocolates and premium milkshakes, the brand has been passed down through generations of chocolatiers.
Over the past century, the company has grown steadily, and in 2023, it launched its franchise model. Today, MilkShake Factory operates multiple corporate stores and is expanding rapidly across the U.S., with new locations in Texas, Connecticut, and several other states. The brand plans to open 24 stores in Texas alone over the next 3 to 5 years.
MilkShake Factory offers a proven, community-focused business model with strong unit economics, in-house ice cream production, and robust operational support, making it an attractive opportunity for aspiring franchise owners.
