About Us:
At Cream and Fudge, we bring you a unique ice cream experience through our innovative mix-in concept. Our skilled artisans hand-fold premium ice cream on a frozen marble stone, allowing you to customize your treat with a variety of delectable mix-ins. From candied fruits and crunchy cookies to indulgent pie fillings, nuts, fudge, and brownies, the possibilities are endless. We take pride in sourcing the finest ingredients from around the world to create the creamiest ice cream imaginable.
Our History:
Since its inception in 1996, Global Franchise Architects (GFA) has excelled in developing, operating, and franchising a carefully curated portfolio of cutting-edge specialty retail brands. Among our successful brands are Coffee World, NewYork 5thAvDeli, The Cream & Fudge Factory, and Stone Fire Pizza Kitchen.
GFA has masterfully crafted a business model that encompasses the development, operation, and franchising of multiple specialty food and beverage retail brands, all underpinned by a unified operating system. Moreover, we have established robust manufacturing capabilities to support our own stores and global partners. Notably, our SE units have achieved self-sustained growth by extending their services to external clients, thereby generating additional revenue streams and enhancing the return on infrastructure investments.
Our focus is on nurturing brands within categories that demonstrate proven market demand or introduce innovative concepts with substantial potential for sustainable profitability. These brands should possess the versatility for multiple locations, offer wide-ranging appeal, and deliver exceptional value to consumers.
Over the past decade, GFA has cultivated a remarkable track record, successfully developing brands and tailoring them to local markets in numerous target countries. Presently, our company operates over 200 stores across nine countries, including Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Sudan, Thailand, the UAE, and Myanmar. GFA is proud to maintain a world-class management system, ISO 9001-2008 certified, and we employ Lean Six Sigma methodology to realize our vision of managing multiple brands across diverse locations through a unified operating system.
