The nationally acclaimed milkshake brand is offering a franchise opportunity for entrepreneurs nationwide, initially focusing on West Coast expansion
Los Angeles, CA (RestaurantNews.com) The Straw: Modern Milkshakes, an award-winning milkshake experience known for its innovative milkshakes, lively events, and unexpected flavors, is shaking up the fast-casual marketplace with its national franchise launch. Having served the Orange County and Los Angeles areas since 2017, the company is now welcoming entrepreneurs to explore its franchise opportunity, honing in on Las Vegas, Arizona, San Diego, and Los Angeles, with more regions to follow.
Paying homage to the iconic diners and jazz clubs of the 50s, Founder Patrick Nguyen has set out to create an experience that is not only memorable for its fanbase but also simple-to- operate for its franchisees. The parlor draws its power from Nguyen’s diverse professional background, including culinary and bartending expertise.
“Starting with very little funding, I understand how difficult it can be to operate a restaurant,” said Nguyen. “With over 30 years of experience, I’ve crafted a menu and system that eliminates guesswork and minimizes costs to maximize profits. I’ve done the hard work so future franchisees don’t have to. Our model is built for success, with low overhead and high profit margins, which has created strong customer loyalty and brand recognition.”
The Straw’s diverse menu includes indulgent options such as its signature Cookies and Cream Milkshake, topped with house-made edible cookie dough, and the Donkey Kong Milkshake, which features fresh bananas, cookie butter, and a cannoli shell for dipping. Vegan options are available, and the ability to add alcohol to any shake — including beer or spirits — presents an exciting opportunity to draw in more customers.
Voted Travel + Leisure’s #1 Milkshakes in the U.S. and featured on a suite of news outlets such as OrangeCoast, VegNews, and LOCALE, the company also serves as a hotspot for hangouts and events. Karaoke nights, art paint events, and live music are common amidst the shop’s lineup, leaving local fans eagerly anticipating the next event.
“Our innovative milkshake menu, combined with live music and exciting events, helps build an unforgettable experience,” said Nguyen. “Every visit to The Straw leaves customers wondering, ‘What’s going to happen next?’ We’ve created a dynamic and unique environment that keeps people coming back.”
Franchise partners gain a truly distinct experience, ripe with innovation and dripping with the delightfully unexpected. Marketing guidance, ongoing operational support, and comprehensive training are all included with every franchise.
