Sinbad Enterprises, Inc., operates and currently in the process of franchising SINBAD CAFÉ America’s premier chain of Hookah Bars. A unique and exciting concept. Our competitive advantages stem from the foundation of our cafes through the corporate infrastructure, operational system and support, to the unique product line and unmatched quality. All of these elements make Sinbad Café a successful, rewarding franchise opportunity.
The Hookah is generating a tremendous amount of interest throughout the world. Development costs to sales ratio are very attractive, with 30%-100%(1) net return on investment per year within the first 36 months, making this retail venture a wonderful growth vehicle. After many studies conducted, and forecast on market trends, we are taking Sinbad Café as the next concept to bloom after the success of the “Coffee Shops” unknown just a few years ago. Join us in this Hot New adventure.
Our Goal
Our goal is simple, just as Starbuck is the synonym for coffee today, Sinbad Café will be the synonym for Hookah tomorrow.
Proof
Want proof of how successful this venture can be? Stop by a Sinbad Café one night. Not only will you see a lot of happy customers, you’ll see many of them again and again and again. Because once they get a taste of just how a great a Sinbad Hookah Experience really is, they’re hooked for good. And that’s a fact.
Naturally, owning and operating a Hookah Bar as committed to quality and serves as Sinbad Café take a lot of work. That’s where we come in to guide you every step of the way from site selection to hookah preparation. And, in the end, you’ll find that the payoff is more than worth it in terms of profits and the sense of pride that comes from being associated with a first-class brand.
The System of Operation
Based on our studies of other businesses similar in nature to Sinbad Cafe, that 90% of all new business ventures fail within the first year(2). And another 10% within five years. Leaving only one out of twenty to survive and with real success.
