New Zealand Natural operates as a national and international franchisor of ice cream, frozen yoghurt and smoothie parlours and mini parlours.
New Zealand Natural is a truly international brand with over 650 sites worldwide, and we are constantly expanding. These sites are mainly located in busy shopping centres, cinema complexes and tourist areas. They consist of franchised stores, express parlours and some mobile stores.
New Zealand Natural franchises are operating all over the world; Pacific, Australia, Asia, US, Middle East and of course New Zealand. We continue to focus on growing the business in other parts of the world.
Future
International expansion is expected to account for much of the future growth of the company. Our concept is refreshing and exciting and, with its range of exceptional products, has considerable consumer appeal to the international market. Most recently we have just welcomed our 23rd Franchisee in the Philippines.
Target Market
New Zealand Natural caters for lovers of high quality treats and refreshments across all age groups – including the health and weight-conscious. It is not uncommon to see queues of children and adults eagerly waiting to be served at our parlours. They all have one thing in common – they love our indulgent treats.
Our main Target Market can be defined as:
Consumers between the ages of 18-34 years with a slight female skew who:
- Enjoy premium ice cream and quality products
- Are health and image conscious
- Want to look after their body, but don’t want to compromise on taste
Product Range And Product Development
You can’t fake purity. That’s why the essence of New Zealand Natural is to provide ‘premium ice cream products from the finest and freshest ingredients’. Our products receive superb recommendations from ice cream lovers worldwide because we have our own exclusive recipes and use premium New Zealand dairy products, which are amongst the best in the world. No wonder our customers keep coming back for more!
We are continually upgrading and improving our product and flavour range. We work closely with our manufacturing team to develop premium quality and exceptional tasting ice cream, sorbets and frozen yoghurts to satisfy customer preferences and ensure that the ‘Pure Taste Adventure’ never ends. Every year without fail we win gold awards at the New Zealand Ice Cream Manufacturers Association annual awards.

- Premium products and exceptional taste
Our products represent quality because they are made using the finest and freshest ingredients. They are manufactured under the strictest international hygiene standards and they comply with both HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control) and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices).
Our Product Development team are always innovating and continually looking for ways to upgrade and improve our products and flavour range to ensure that the ‘Pure Taste Adventure’ never ends.
Internationally our Master Franchisees have the right to use New Zealand Natural’s intellectual property (with our approval) in order to run their own business and to grant rights to sub-franchisees. Master franchisees provide training and support to sub-franchisees and supply them with New Zealand Natural’s core products – Ice Cream, Frozen Yoghurt and Sorbets.
Unlike many other international Franchise Systems, New Zealand Natural tailors each country’s franchise to the cultural, ethnic and socio-economic needs of the country. The core product range remains the same but fine-tuning helps to make each country’s operation relevant to the society in which it operates.
Start-up Assistance, Training & Support
TRAINING:
At New Zealand Natural we place great importance on operational standards and customer service. All our new franchisees undergo a comprehensive training program prior to taking over their store.
We provide a very detailed, competency based, training and assessment program for all new franchisees. The training program includes modules on Customer Service, Product Preparation & Presentation, Equipment Maintenance, Marketing and General Store Administration. Franchisees will not be granted permission to take over a store until they have been assessed as competent to do so.
STORE DESIGN & IMAGE
New Zealand Natural’s store design and image is an integral part of its success (we will work with the Master Franchisee to ensure this standard and look is maintained). Stores must always remain inviting and friendly to customers, complementing the nature and quality of our products and the environment in which our parlours are located. Colourful imagery and menu boards generate a fun and fresh feeling. Large transparencies and promotional material tantalise the taste buds and are part of the New Zealand Natural story. The products themselves are prominently displayed. All of these attributes ensure high product visibility and appeal. It is the eye-catching store design in combination with New Zealand Natural’s unique selling propositions that make it a winner.
