Upgrade
Totally Nutz is a premium brand known for its freshly roasted, cinnamon-glazed nuts that offer customers an unforgettable taste and aroma. Established in 1990 in St. George, Utah, the company has evolved from a small event-based vendor into a thriving franchise with a presence across the nation.
Still headquartered in St. George, Totally Nutz has remained true to its origins while expanding its reach. The company began offering franchise opportunities in 2014, enabling entrepreneurs throughout the U.S. to introduce this distinctive snack experience to their local communities.
Franchise owners operate mobile setups at events like festivals, sports games, and corporate functions, where they roast and glaze nuts on-site. This live preparation not only guarantees exceptional freshness but also fills the air with an enticing aroma, helping Totally Nutz stand out from other snack vendors.

Number of units
Totally Nutz had 80 total units in 2025, of which 60 were franchised-owned and 20 company-owned.
Totally Nutz provides a structured and multi-layered training program to equip franchisees and their teams for success. Here’s a clear breakdown of the programs, numbered as you requested:
Initial Training Program Totally Nutz offers an initial training program at its corporate headquarters in St. George, Utah, covering operations, marketing, advertising, management, and hands-on training. This training is provided at no charge for up to two people, with a fee for additional attendees, and it must be completed before any sales can begin.
Designated Manager Training If the franchisee appoints a Designated Manager to run the unit, that person is also required to attend and successfully complete the initial training program to ensure consistent operational standards.
Additional and Online Training Throughout the franchise term, Totally Nutz may require additional training or online modules for the franchisee or their staff, especially if deemed necessary by the franchisor, with the franchisee covering the associated costs.
Territory Protection
Totally Nutz provides limited territorial protection depending on the business model. Mobile franchisees are protected only at “Protected Events” where they hold a contract, have prior participation, and maintain compliance. Fixed-location franchisees receive no exclusive territory.
The franchisor can operate or license others under the Totally Nutz brand outside approved sites or Protected Events and may sell similar products under other names. Franchisees must meet event demands, or the franchisor may assign others to fill the gap.
