“As an owner/operator of San Gelato Cafe, I was originally drawn to the company because of the great product that is delivered to the customer every time. All great businesses must start with a great product, and San Gelato Cafe has the best gelato and sorbets available. The all natural gelato and sorbets are the draw, but our customers also the love that our coffee, espresso, sandwiches, salads, pizza and desserts which are all so unique and served with such detail. That was the deal closer for me. Our customers are always 100% satisfied. The support and training that I have received from the corporate office has, I believe, positioned me for success. Simona Faroni and Guido Tremolini, the founders of San Gelato Cafe, are incredibly hard working, passionate leaders who demand excellence, but at the same time, are very nurturing and compassionate mentors. I would recommend to anyone who is thinking about franchise opportunities, to consider San Gelato Cafe.”
