My Favorite Muffin: Delivering Gourmet Muffins Since 1987

My Favorite Muffin is a renowned bakery franchise celebrated for its wide array of gourmet muffins and bakery products. Founded in 1987, the brand quickly gained popularity for offering a diverse selection of freshly baked, flavorful muffins that cater to various tastes.

In 1997, My Favorite Muffin was acquired by BAB, Inc., the parent company of Big Apple Bagels, integrating it into a family of bakery-focused brands. Headquartered in Deerfield, Illinois, My Favorite Muffin operates under the umbrella of BAB, Inc., which manages multiple franchised and licensed stores across the United States.

The franchise began expanding its reach through franchising efforts following its acquisition, allowing entrepreneurs nationwide to bring its beloved bakery products to their local communities.

Specializing in gourmet muffins, My Favorite Muffin offers an extensive menu that includes a variety of flavors and styles, appealing to a broad customer base. The brand differentiates itself from competitors by focusing on high-quality ingredients and unique recipes, ensuring a distinctive and enjoyable experience for muffin enthusiasts.

Training

My Favorite Muffin offers a structured training program designed to prepare franchisees for operating their store efficiently. Here is a breakdown of the training provided:

  1. Initial Training Program
    The franchisor provides a comprehensive initial training program for the franchisee and up to two additional persons. This program covers essential aspects of operating a My Favorite Muffin store, including daily operations, customer service, food preparation, sanitation, safety procedures, inventory control, and financial management. The training is conducted at the franchisor’s headquarters or another designated location.
  2. On-Site Opening Assistance
    In addition to classroom training, the franchisor sends representatives to the franchisee’s location for on-site opening assistance. This support includes helping the franchisee prepare for the opening, training staff, and ensuring that operational procedures are correctly implemented during the store’s launch.
  3. Ongoing Support and Additional Training
    The franchisor may offer additional training programs throughout the term of the franchise. These are designed to enhance the franchisee’s knowledge and skills, especially if there are new systems, products, or procedures introduced. Attendance at such programs may be mandatory.

Territory Protection

My Favorite Muffin does not provide exclusive territorial protection to its franchisees. The franchise agreement explicitly states that franchisees may face competition from other franchisees, company-owned outlets, or other distribution channels controlled by the franchisor.

Even if a territory is granted, the franchisor reserves the right to compete within it. This means franchisees are not guaranteed protection from encroachment, which could impact their business operations.
