Open The Best Stop Franchise

They say if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life.
Well, we LOVE Cajun food, and we think you will, too!

For over 30 years, The Best Stop has served the Scott, Louisiana, community with our Cajun-certified foods and products. From local favorites like boudin and cracklins to our wide assortment of specialty meats, we’re committed to providing only the best Cajun products for our customers. With two company-owned locations, our founding team decided to franchise The Best Stop to extend our tradition of award-winning products and small-town service to customers across the United States!

Our success is directly tied to our passion for quality and dedication to service, which is why—just like our products—we hand-pick our franchisee candidates with care.

We’re on the lookout for motivated entrepreneurs interested in joining the supermarket industry!

The Best Stop Franchisees are:

  • Looking for an investment opportunity with a growing brand
  • Self-driven and interested in running your own business
  • Have previous restaurant experience and an affinity for Southern hospitality
  • Committed to upholding the values of The Best Stop brand

The Best Stop Franchise Offerings

The Best Stop offers two franchise models: a full-service model and an express model with limited inventory but a robust menu of freshly prepared dishes.

Once you’ve selected a franchise model, two employment strategy options exist. The first is the opportunity to own a Single-Unit Franchise, which allows you to operate your own Best Stop in a protected territory of your choice. The second option is our Area Development Franchise, enabling you to lock down a larger territory and build a series of The Best Stop locations at your own pace.

Both franchising strategies are economically priced to maximize your opportunity to become a business owner and our potential to become a nationally-recognized brand.

The Best Stop Franchise Training

Although we recommend that interested franchisees have experience within the restaurant or food distribution industries, we’ve designed a franchise training program to help prepare you to successfully run your own The Best Stop location—regardless of your previous experience!

Our multifaceted program comprises 131 hours of classroom and hands-on training. It will train you on learning the distribution system, replicating our recipes, staffing your location, handling administrative duties, and marketing your location to boost business. Our franchise support team will be with you every step of the way, guiding you through developing your new franchise location to ensure your long-term success!
