Buy an Apple Spice Franchise

Apple Spice is a premier B2B box lunch delivery and catering franchise founded in 1988 in Salt Lake City, Utah, by Randy Clegg and Wayne Curtis, specializing in fresh, individually packaged meals like sandwiches, salads, wraps, and bakery treats with cookies for corporate events, offices, schools, and government clients. With nearly 50 locations across 18 states since franchising in 2003, it thrives in the $63 billion catering industry via a Monday-Friday model (no nights, weekends, or holidays), low-overhead industrial spaces, and high margins from repeat B2B customers. This lifestyle-oriented business emphasizes quality ingredients, timely delivery, and scalable territories, ideal for entrepreneurs seeking work-life balance, quick ROI (often 1-2 years), and EBITDA over 30% with average unit volumes around $816K. Apple Spice’s proven logistics, tech, and CRM systems minimize competition from secondary restaurant offerings, making it a recession-resistant choice for building equity in a high-demand niche.
