Who we are

Mountain Man Nut & Fruit Co. began as a packaging facility in Colorado for nuts, dried fruits and assorted candies in 1977. It incorporated in 1978 and began offering franchises in October of 1983. Other than offering franchises, the company has more or less done business in much the same way it has always done—by making nuts, fruits and chocolate by hand and in house and selling those confectioneries via a cart door-to-door. Though Vice President, Michael S. Conner, admits that the age of the internet has made direct marketing more difficult, there are still sects of people out there who appreciate the personalized approach that Mountain Man offers. The company has 13 regional retail stores and the rest of the franchisees operate via carts and their websites, which they can set up through Mountain Man's main website.

Why choose Mountain Man Nut & Fruit Co.?

The success model of Mountain Man Nut & Fruit Co. franchise owners is simple: quality products and great customer service. The product is already there, so all franchisees need to do is establish and maintain relationships with people within the community. The monetary investment is minimal, which is another perk of owning a Mountain Man unit, and so long as franchisees are willing to put forth the time investment of forming new relationships, they are likely to see substantial rewards.

Who we're looking for

The ideal candidate for this type of franchise is someone who is personable, persistent and creative and who can handle rejection well. This person not only believes in quality and freshness, but also, advocates for it to be the norm, not the exception.

Training and Support

Mountain Man offers two to three days of field training, by request. Training is for one person only and will only take place if franchisee has adequate inventory on hand ($1,000+).
