Reis & Irvy’s, Robot-Staffed Frozen Yogurt Chain, Inks $5,000,000 + Master Franchise Agreement in Salt Lake and Utah Counties, Utah

SALT LAKE CITY, UT - Feb. 11, 2019 // GLOBE NEWSWIRE // - via NEWMEDIAWIRE - Generation NEXT Franchise Brands, Inc. (OTCQB: VEND) announced today that its flagship subsidiary, Reis & Irvy’s, has signed an exclusive franchise agreement for the robot-staffed frozen yogurt and ice cream chain in Salt Lake County, UT and Utah County, UT.

Salt Lake and Utah Counties

The $5,000,000 exclusive territory contract includes the upfront purchase of 23 kiosks for $1,150,000 along with contract commitments to purchase an additional 77 kiosks (100 in total).

Salt Lake County, the most populous county in Utah, is home to more than 1.1 million residents and includes Salt Lake City, the state capital. The University of Utah, with a student body of well over 30,000 is also located in the county. The county’s ski resorts attract tourists from around the world, and Salt Lake City is home to a number of technology companies.

Utah County, with a population of more than 500,000, is Utah’s second-most populous county and is home to the city of Provo, the state’s third-largest city. Also boasting more than 30,000 students, Brigham Young University, or BYU, is located in Utah County.

Combined, the exclusive territory represents a population of more than 1.6 million people in Utah’s largest metro area.

“When we heard of Reis & Irvy’s we immediately knew that this was going to be something that would thrive in this area. We know that a quicker, easier, cleaner, and more exciting way of getting a quick-frozen treat would be welcomed in the Salt Lake/Provo area. The idea of using our modern-day technology to deliver your frozen yogurt in minutes will not only revolutionize this area but bring joy to the people of Utah,” said Jason Olson, the Reis & Irvy’s Exclusive Franchisee for Salt Lake and Utah counties, Utah.

“More concentrated ownership of Reis & Irvy’s robots and franchisees with larger footprints makes a lot of sense to us at the head office. We can work closely with these franchisees and their teams to build long term relationships with location partners throughout each community they represent,” said Nick Yates, CEO of Generation Next Franchise Brands. “We have built a network of exclusive territory franchisees that all bring something special to the table. These entrepreneurs are engineers, software developers, fund managers, sales and marketing professionals and logistics experts. Jason is no exception, and I have no doubt he will represent the Reis & Irvy’s brand the best way possible throughout Utah.”

In addition to his new Reis & Irvy’s franchise venture, Mr. Olson is the president of a mechanical contracting company whose work includes projects for hospitals, universities, public schools, retail stores, restaurants, churches, hotels, assisted living centers, banks, office buildings and more.
