How Crema Rolls Turned a Viral Dessert Trend into a Scalable Franchise Brand

Discover how AFI helped Crema Rolls formalize operations, build franchise systems, and expand their dessert concept into new markets.

The Opportunity

A Fast-Growing Dessert Brand Ready to Expand

Crema Rolls built a loyal following by serving hand-crafted, Thai-style rolled ice cream in an experience-driven environment. With strong branding, operational consistency, and growing demand, the concept was primed for franchising. But to scale properly, they needed guidance on structuring their systems and building a strong foundation for growth.
