Generation NEXT Franchise Brands Announces Philadelphia Frozen Yogurt Vending Contract

SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - Nov 21, 2017) - Generation NEXT Franchise Brands, Inc. (OTCQB: VEND) announced today that it has completed an exclusive territory franchise agreement within Philadelphia for its frozen yogurt vending concept, Reis & Irvy's. The Philadelphia agreement and exclusive territory rights will be overseen by current Reis & Irvy's franchisees, Peter and Stuart Shapiro of Robotic Desserts, LLC. The agreement, which contains a minimum of 84 Reis & Irvy's "Froyo Robots" over the next five years will also represent the most units managed by a single franchisee since the brand launched in early April 2016 and represents a total contract value of $4,098,000 for Generation NEXT Franchise Brands (parent to the Reis & Irvy's concept). 

The high-tech robotic vending machines, which will dispense servings of frozen yogurt, ice creams and sorbets, topped with six delicious toppings in under 60 seconds, have seen tremendous response from the market. Since its debut, Reis & Irvy's has grown to approximately 200 franchisees within both national and international markets, and represents over 850 pending robot installations. The popularity of the Froyo Robots has expanded exponentially since both current and prospective franchisees were able to view the completed units earlier this month. That excitement is now spilling into the marketplace, sparking interest and demand from entrepreneurs everywhere looking to become part of the newest innovation in on-demand vending robotics. 

The Shapiros (brothers in business and both natives to PA) are certainly not newcomers to the Reis & Irvy's concept. In fact, the brothers were one of the first franchises welcomed into the Reis & Irvy's family when the brand was first launched in 2016. Both Peter and his brother Stuart anticipate purchasing a total of 100 (16 ordered and 84 more pending purchase objectives are met) Froyo Robots over the next 5 years, ensuring the Reis & Irvy's brand will have a substantial footprint within the Philly market. 

"My brother Stuart and I saw the vision and the potential for this concept since its early debut last year and knew this was the right opportunity for us and for the marketplace here in Philly," said Peter. "We not only wanted to be Reis & Irvy's franchisees, but we wanted to make a much larger splash than just a few robots. Our goal and objective was to inject a fleet of these amazing machines throughout this market and bring visibility and more importantly, accessibility to a consumer market hungry for something unique. We're thrilled to now be putting it in motion." 

Robotic Desserts LLC, will serve as an exclusive Franchisee, distributor and operator of Reis & Irvy's Froyo Robots within Philadelphia through the end of 2022. The agreement, if executed fully, is worth approximately $4,098,000 to Generation NEXT Franchise Brands and states that the group will purchase a minimum number of 84 units within the 5-year term and will represent the frozen yogurt/ice cream robot technology within its respective territory using the Reis & Irvy's brand (www.reisandirvys.com). 

"These guys are the crème 'de la crème of franchisees, enthusiastic, motivated, hard working and full of initiative," said Nick Yates, Chairman of Generation NEXT Franchise Brands. "We just spent a couple days with both Peter and Stuart in our first franchisee training and they filled the room (along with 20 other franchisees) with so much positive and contagious energy. We are thrilled to have them representing us in Philadelphia exclusively."
