Hocco Franchise
Ahmedabad ice cream brand with 14 creameries on its locator; franchise page invites enquiries and lists a process but no investment, fee, royalty or terms, so an open offer is unconfirmed.
We couldn't confirm Hocco is taking franchisees right now
Treat this as research, not an open offer, until the brand confirms its programme in writing. See the note below.
About This Listing
Hocco's franchise page invites enquiries and describes an application process (brand-fit review, Discovery Day, Franchise Disclosure Document, financial-readiness check) but publishes no investment, fee, royalty, area or term, so we cannot confirm a current open offer. Ask Hocco directly whether it is taking franchisees in your city and ask for the disclosure document.
