Opening a Sicilian Goodness® franchise means bringing to your city a recognisable food identity built around Sicilian culture and an offer that works across seasons. Not simply an arancini shop, not only a pastry shop, not a traditional café: one format combining street food, bar, coffee, gelato and specialities from the island.
The model is already operating in different settings and is developed with procedures, training, location support, design, supplies and marketing. The goal is to grow in Italy and progressively in new markets.
Why Sicilian Goodness®
More consumption occasions. One identity.
A strong food format does not live on one product alone: it creates habits. Sicilian Goodness® accompanies the customer from the first coffee in the morning to evening street food.
Distinctive street food
Arancini, rosticceria and Sicilian recipes are recognisable products suited to quick consumption, takeaway and delivery.
Sweet products all year round
Cannoli, pastry, granita and 100% Sicilian artisan gelato create purchase occasions, afternoon breaks and desserts in every season.
Supply chain and method
Selected raw materials, Sicilian producers for identity-defining ingredients, operating procedures and supply continuity support the replicability of the format.
Sicily serving the network
A supply chain organised to serve the network.
Sicilian Goodness® connects its stores through specialised logistics companies with regular deliveries, helping ensure continuity of identity-defining raw materials and products as the network expands.
Sicilian producers
We select suppliers and producers from the island for the ingredients and products that define the Sicilian Goodness® identity.
Specialised logistics
Dedicated partners connect Sicily to the network with organised transport and supply continuity in mind.
Regular supplies
An organised replenishment system helps stores maintain assortment continuity, standards and quality as the network grows.
One network, one identity
Growing into new cities means replicating the format without losing the link that connects every store to Sicily.
Sicily does not remain in the background: it remains part of our supply chain as the network grows.
