My experience with the Ellianos brand and support team has been amazing. The journey from general inquiry to the grand opening of my first store was exciting, fun, and reassuring. The resources and support Ellianos provided, and continues to provide, is very impressive. The corporate team is patient and informative. They have facilitated an exponential growth of my knowledge as a small business owner.

Kristy Foreman

Waycross, GA

Ellianos Corporate team has been an amazing source of knowledge and support, since first opening my franchise location in 2007. As a franchisee, I am appreciative of how hard they work to lower costs, streamline processes, and help our businesses succeed. I believe in our brand and our products. I am excited to see the Ellianos brand grow and expand!

Gary & Katee Robey

Live Oak & Perry, Florida

We are so grateful to be part of the Ellianos franchise family, every member of the corporate team cares. They go above and beyond to support, give insight, and help in any way they can. As owners, we wanted to invest in a company that is made up of three core values: quality, integrity, and authenticity. The Ellianos brand has all 3. We were confident in their team; so confident that we didn’t hold off opening during the 2020 pandemic. That confidence paid off!

Mike Prescott

Starke, FL

We have been with the Ellianos family for 18 years, 12 of which we have been an actual franchisee. The brand has provided consistent quality and service. It’s such an honor to see and feel the vibes of each new day. We could not have been this successful without the support of Ellianos and our wonderful customers. It’s a great pleasure to say, “What can I create for you today?” and “See you tomorrow, at the window.”

Cheryl Tilley

Baxley, GA

Our experience with Ellianos started with the love and support from the Stewart family! I felt at home on the first visit we had with the Ellianos staff! What sold me on the brand was how family-oriented they were and the support team they had to back up their brand. They have the franchise branding down to a fine toothcomb! Our family has been very impressed with the process!

Allison Bell

Vidalia & Fitzgerald, GA

Ellianos has been a great company to franchise with. The Ellianos team provides excellent support and guidance from start to finish. They are like our extended family!
