A Franchise Review by the Owner

“I think the great thing about WOOPS! is the potential you have for high ROI,” Bruno says.

“There are a lot of good things on the horizon. One of the best things is that your sales can extend well beyond the boundaries of your location. You may have a 10-square-foot kiosk, but if you are willing to step away from the counter and build a team to grow your business, that 10-foot kiosk can be a base for generating sales throughout your entire community.”
