The Concept
Twisted Sugar is a U.S. dessert franchise combining freshly baked cookies with custom sodas, beverages and ice cream-based drinks. The brand began with its cookie-and-soda concept in Idaho and Utah and has expanded into multiple U.S. states.
The concept is designed around relatively compact stores, typically around 1,200–1,500 square feet, and offers both individual franchises and area-development opportunities. The 2025 FDD reported 45 total outlets, including 41 franchised locations, at the end of 2024.

How much revenue can a Twisted Sugar franchise generate?
The 2025 FDD does not provide an Item 19 financial performance representation. Prospective franchisees therefore need to obtain financial information directly from existing franchisees and construct their own location-specific projections. (FDD Exchange)
What ongoing fees does a franchisee pay?
What ongoing fees does a franchisee pay?
The standard ongoing charges are a 6% royalty and 2% Brand and System Development Fund contribution, both calculated on gross revenue. Additional technology and training-related fees can apply.
Is Twisted Sugar suitable for multi-unit franchisees?
Yes. Area-development agreements are available for three to five stores, and the franchisor actively promotes multi-unit growth. Its current program also provides site-selection, training, marketing, technology and ongoing business-coach support. (FDD Exchange)
