Your Founding Partner Opportunity

A Dessert Concept Built to Stand Out

Lookumades blends fresh Greek donuts, premium dessert drinks and Aussie coffee culture into a high-energy dessert experience that drives sharing and repeat demand.

Every order is made fresh in front of the customer, creating theatre, aroma and excitement that turns a simple dessert purchase into an experience. The menu is built around customisable Greek donuts, indulgent toppings and high-margin drinks that naturally drive larger basket sizes. The result is a store concept that performs in high traffic environments and translates directly into online attention.

• Fresh Greek donuts made to order in front of customers
• Custom toppings that create high basket value and repeat visits
• Premium matcha, shakes, frappes, and dessert drinks
• Handcrafted gelato and indulgent dessert combinations
• A concept engineered to attract attention, drive foot traffic and convert consistently

The Franchise Opportunity

Enter Early.

Scale With Intent.

This is not a saturated franchise network. Lookumades is at the early stage of its expansion, which means the right partners have the opportunity to secure strong territories and play a role in shaping the future of the brand. We are intentionally limiting growth and focusing on a small number of ambitious owner operators who want to build a serious asset, not just open a store.

• Limited foundation territories available
• Opportunity to influence brand standards during early expansion
• Territory protection for strategic growth
• Direct access to founders and operational guidance
• Clear pathway to multi-site ownership for strong operators

Frequently Asked Questions

We understand this is an important decision and you need details. Let's get all of the main questions out of the way.

How much can a Lookumades franchise earn?

Because every location is different, we do not publish earnings claims publicly. Once you have submitted an expression of interest and we confirm the opportunity is a good fit, we can walk you through detailed financial modelling, location analysis and expected performance scenarios based on real store data.

How involved do I need to be in the business?

Lookumades is designed for owner operators who want to be actively involved in the business, especially during the early stages. Many successful franchise partners start hands on in the store and then transition into managing teams as the business grows.

What makes this a good time to join the brand?

Lookumades is still in the early stage of its franchise rollout. That means the right partners can secure strong territories and grow with the brand as it expands. Early franchise partners often benefit from the strongest locations and the opportunity to build multi site ownership over time.

Do I need hospitality experience to open a Lookumades franchise?

Hospitality experience can be helpful, but it is not essential. What matters most is operational discipline, leadership capability and a commitment to execution. Our training and support systems are designed to guide franchise partners through the operational side of the business.

What does the franchise investment typically look like?

The investment required varies depending on the store format, location and site requirements. As a guide, the expected investment range sits between approximately £195,000 and £280,000. Detailed financial discussions take place after the initial qualification process.

What support do franchise partners receive?

Franchise partners receive structured support before and after opening. This includes systems training, product training, store launch preparation, marketing frameworks and ongoing operational guidance to help you grow your business.

Will I receive help finding a location?

Yes. The Lookumades team provides guidance during the site selection process to help identify locations with strong commercial potential. Final sites are reviewed and approved to ensure they align with the brand and operational model.

What makes the Lookumades concept different?

Lookumades combines fresh Greek donuts made to order with premium dessert drinks and a visually engaging store experience. The concept is designed to deliver strong margins, high average order values and strong social media appeal that naturally attracts customers.

How long does it take to open a store?

The timeline varies depending on the location and build requirements. In most cases, the process from approval to opening can take several months as we work through site selection, design, construction and training.

What type of franchise partner are you looking for?

We are looking for ambitious owner operators who want to be involved in building the business. This opportunity suits people who want to grow with the brand and potentially expand into multiple locations over time.

Can I open more than one location?

Yes. Strong franchise partners may have the opportunity to expand into additional territories over time. Many successful operators grow into multi site ownership as the brand expands.
