Ask before you sign

  1. Speak to at least 3 franchisees who have run an outlet for 2+ years and see their actual monthly sales and profit — a franchisor making money doesn't mean its franchisees do.
  2. Ask for every upfront payment in writing — deposit, onboarding, equipment or stock — and which parts are refundable.
  3. Ask exactly how your margin or commission is calculated, when it's paid, and whether the brand can change it.

What Frontier Biscuit Factory Says You Can Earn

Brand claim

Frontier Biscuit Factory's own claim — no evidence given. These are not FranchiseChuno's estimates or a promise of earnings; ask existing franchisees what they actually make.

Annual return on investmentYearly profit as a share of the total investment.
60% – 84%

Frontier says franchisees "have the potential to earn a return on investment (ROI) of 5–7% per month". Converted to a yearly figure by simple multiplication by 12 (60–84% a year). No sample size, outlet sales or profit figures are published, and the figure is not linked to a stated investment amount (₹3 lakh to ₹10 lakh, plus a ₹10 lakh refundable deposit). Treat as an unverified brand claim.

About the Brand

Brand USP

Eggless biscuits, rusks and namkeen sold through its own shopping zones in Delhi-NCR, with retail, distribution and bakery-integration formats.

HeadquartersNew Delhi
Frontier Biscuit Factory Private Limited is a Delhi company that makes eggless biscuits, rusks, namkeen and sweets and sells them through its own "shopping zone" stores and dealers. The brand says it began in 1921 in Hoti Mardan (now in Pakistan) and was rebuilt in Delhi after Partition. Its map of shopping zones listed 109 locations on 10 Oct 2026, mostly in Delhi (59), Haryana (28) and Uttar Pradesh (12). Filings show revenue of about ₹49 Cr in FY25 but a profit of only about ₹4.9 lakh, which Tracxn shows as down 98% on FY24. Frontier offers three formats: a retail outlet, a distribution franchise and a bakery-integration (co-branded) model. It says investment "begins from ₹3 lakhs" for bakery integration and goes "up to ₹10 lakhs" for retail or distribution; a separate model table lists ₹3–5 lakh and 300+ sq ft. The brand says there is no franchise fee, partners earn a 31% margin on net product rates (excluding GST), and the agreement runs 3 years, renewable, with no lock-in or exit penalty. It also lists a refundable earnest money of ₹10 lakh. What to watch: Frontier's claim of 5–7% return a month (about 60–84% a year) comes with no sample size or outlet accounts. The ₹10 lakh refundable deposit is larger than the lower investment figures, and its refund terms are not published. "No franchise fees" sits beside "no royalty for the first year", so later-year charges are unclear. Its locator does not say which stores are franchised; a March 2024 company post counted 67 outlets, 7 company-owned and 60 run by dealers. Two linked intellectual-property matters between the company and a firm trading as "Frontier Bakery" are pending in the Delhi High Court; the order we read does not state the grounds. The franchisor's accounts say nothing about what a single store earns, so ask existing partners for real store sales, margins and refund experience before committing.
