The accolade arrives as the candy and ice cream chain, which currently operates nearly 200 locations, pushes for broader national expansion. CEO Brian Britton credited the milestone to the company’s focus on providing flexible development pathways, noting that the brand remains committed to supporting partners as they introduce the Kilwins retail experience to new markets.
Driving this growth is the recent launch of Kilwins Select. This lighter asset model utilizes a smaller footprint and a curated product lineup, allowing franchisees to enter high-traffic retail environments that might not accommodate a traditional full-line store. By lowering the barrier to entry, the company aims to accelerate multi-unit development while maintaining the operational standards established since its 1947 founding.
