Gelatissimo has announced a generous $50,000 Regional Incentive Package to encourage new franchisees to open stores outside metro areas. The offer is available for greenfield sites that begin trading before June 30, 2026.
The incentive includes major cost savings for new owners: the franchise fee is reduced from $50,000 to $25,000, the $10,000 leasing fee is waived, and royalties are cut in half—delivering up to $15,000 in extra savings.
Regional towns have already proven to be strong performers for Gelatissimo. Stores in Wagga Wagga, Toowoomba, Mackay, and Rockhampton have outpaced metro locations for years, showing the strength of the brand in community-driven markets. Chief Development Officer Anthony Shina said regional towns are showing “incredible enthusiasm” for the Gelatissimo experience.
Gelatissimo currently operates more than 57 stores across Australia and 15 internationally, with plans for further expansion in both metro and regional areas. The brand has built a reputation for growth thanks to its strong customer following, diverse store models, and a proven franchise system that continues to attract new partners.
New franchisees will also benefit from Gelatissimo’s established support network, with 50+ handcrafted gelato flavors made fresh daily, full training, and strong marketing systems. With its growing national footprint, the company is well positioned to expand deeper into regional communities.
