Flour Power is a growing franchise of cooking studios with a clear mission: to inspire a deep appreciation for cooking while enhancing the physical, mental, and social well-being of participants. With a focus on fun and hands-on learning, the studios host an array of experiences—from culinary classes and seasonal camps to birthday celebrations, corporate events, and adult cooking sessions—welcoming aspiring chefs of all ages.
Founded in 2008, Flour Power began franchising in 2015 and has steadily expanded its footprint across the U.S. By 2021, the brand had secured 19 franchise agreements and was celebrating major milestones, including more than 5,000 birthday parties hosted annually and over 4,000 kids enrolled in its summer programs.
What sets Flour Power apart is its commitment to fostering community connections and personal growth through food. More than just cooking schools, the studios function as lively gathering places where families, friends, and neighbors come together to create joyful culinary memories in an inclusive, supportive environment.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
Flour Power provides a comprehensive and multi-tiered training program designed to prepare franchisees and their managers to operate the studio successfully. The training is mandatory, structured, and includes in-person, online, and ongoing components.
Flour Power offers limited territory protection to its franchisees through the designation of a “Designated Territory.” Once a studio location is approved, a surrounding area is defined, typically either within a four-mile travel radius or encompassing a population of approximately 12,000 children under age 14.
However, this territory is not exclusive in every aspect—while the franchisor agrees not to establish another studio using its trademarks within this area, it reserves the right to use other channels like internet or catalog sales within the territory.
Franchisees may only operate and market within their designated territory and are prohibited from selling outside this area unless approved.
