Tifa Chocolate & Gelato

Founded in 2008, our high-end gelato/dessert cafe quickly outgrew our first retail location and by 2013 expanded to a large production cafe with a special use satellite location with over 1.1 million in annual sales (population density of 38,000). This proved how successful the model could be in any trade area/density of population. Since then Tifa began franchising with 8 locations in 3 states.
