The Avocado Show

About The Avocado Show

Established in 2016 in Amsterdam by three friends and passionate avocado lovers, The Avocado Show is now becoming a global brand that is actively seeking franchisees in numerous countries, including the UK. The founders of the company wanted to produce avocado-based dishes that were delicious, healthy, and beautiful to look at.

The core of the business is, as expected, the avocado which is currently heralded as a superfood. The avocados themselves are obtained from sustainable sources and the company has a strong social responsibility focus. The fruit is shipped in from Chile, Mexico, Peru, and South Africa, so there are high quality and ripe avocados available all year.

The Avocado Show menus feature both traditional, classic dishes and contemporary, creative, and innovative avocado dishes. To complement the food, a wide range of drinks are on offer.

The company is built on the visual appeal and taste of its dishes as well as offering either convenience through the counter-service outlets / take-aways or deliveries, or a full dining experience at one of its vibrant and lively sit-down restaurants.

What services and products does The Avocado Show offer?

Whether catering for customers who are eating at one of the restaurants or are taking food away, the products offered by The Avocado Show are a range of colourful avocado dishes that are savoury or sweet, served either hot or cold, or even come in liquid or solid form. The Avocado Show also serves a range of drinks, and sells various avocado-related products such as cook books, branded merchandise of various kinds, and food items.

The Avocado Show refers to franchisees as ‘licensees’ or ‘partners’.

Partners or licensees are wanted on a long-term basis rather than short-term contracts.

What are the Avocado Show franchise options?

Depending on your ambitions, goals, and budget you have two options when it comes to the type of The Avocado Show outlet you can run:

1. The Avocado Show To-Go: These outlets cater for customers who want take-away meals and drinks as there is no table service. The premises required are 50m² or larger. You will require counter staff. These outlets are ideal for locations with very heavy footfall such as train stations, bus terminuses, airports, sports venues, and shopping malls.

2. The Avocado Show Restaurant: These premises must be at least 100m² in size. As a restaurant a full table service is provided to customers. The range and level of food offered is larger and more sophisticated than at a counter outlet. As a result, the staff must be more highly skilled and experienced. In addition, a range of kitchen equipment is needed.
