Five reasons to franchise Halowow

01

Proven flagship in Taytay

From the first week, our Taytay shop drew customers of every age and built a loyal following. Our franchise model is built on what worked there.

02

Our own family recipes

Halowow uses family recipes, including our premium signature ice and signature cream, a custard cream the family makes by hand. Other halo-halo sellers can't copy the taste.

03

Flexible investment options

Kiosks for malls, transport hubs and schools, or full stores for standalone sites. We help you pick what fits your budget and market.

04

A complete support system

Training in operations, recipes and service, plus marketing materials, national campaigns, supply and logistics, and ongoing guidance from our team.

05

Growing market demand

Filipino food is winning fans at home and abroad, and halo-halo is one of its best-known desserts. That puts a modern brand like Halowow in a strong position.

Where halo-halo comes from

Halo-halo means mix-mix

Halo-halo traces back to kakigōri, the shaved-ice treat Japanese settlers brought to the Philippines in the early 1900s. Filipinos made it their own with ube halaya, sweet corn, coconut and tropical fruit, and it became the dessert of fiestas, family gatherings and hot afternoons.

Halowow keeps those roots and builds on them with our own family recipes. Our five signature flavors pair the classic toppings with newer ones like cheese.

A Filipino story in a cup. Locals come for the nostalgia, and visitors come to try something new.

Every franchisee becomes family

We know what starting out is like

Halowow is family-owned and family-run, and we treat our franchisees the same way. We know how hard it is to start a business because we did it ourselves, so we stay with you at every step.

When you invest in Halowow, you get a family brand rooted in tradition and a product that draws locals and tourists alike. Halo-halo also gives your neighborhood a reason to gather and celebrate.

A franchise with global appeal

Our roots are in Taytay, Rizal, but dessert crosses borders. Halo-halo's colors, textures and tropical flavors appeal to Filipino, Asian, American, European and Middle Eastern customers alike, and Filipino communities abroad already know and love it.

Food trends now spread through social media, so a Halowow branch can pull in foodies from other towns as well as regulars from down the street.
