Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you’re wondering about owning a Wow Wow Hawaiian Lemonade franchise — from investment to territories to what happens after you apply.
About Wow Wow
What is Wow Wow Hawaiian Lemonade?
Wow Wow started at farmer’s markets on the island of Oahu in 2012, serving fresh, locally-inspired tropical lemonade. What began as a small trailer on Maui has grown into a fast-growing superfood and lemonade franchise on the mainland, built around the spirit of aloha.
What makes Wow Wow different from other juice and lemonade concepts?
Wow Wow sits inside one of the fastest-growing segments of the food industry: 70% of consumers say the availability of healthy menu items influences where they choose to dine, and the global health and wellness food market was projected at $811B by 2023 (Allied Market Research). Wow Wow pairs that demand with a distinctive, photogenic product and a loyal, community-driven brand.
Investment & Qualifications
How much does it cost to open a Wow Wow franchise?
We look for franchisees with a minimum net worth of $500,000 and $100,000 in liquid capital. Total investment typically ranges from $250,000 – $400,000. Exact fees, royalties, and all other terms are set out in our Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), which you’ll receive as part of the qualification process.
Do I need restaurant or food service experience?
No specific industry background is required. We look for entrepreneurs with a head for business, a genuine interest in healthy eating, and a knack for building community around the brand — the same qualities that got Wow Wow started at a Hawaii farmer’s market.
