What is the Scoop Brothers franchise?

Scoop Brothers, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company, was founded on April 13, 2023, marking its entry into the vibrant quick-service dessert sector with a clear vision for offering premium soft serve and ice cream. The franchisor's principal business address is located at 1718 E. 66th Street, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55423, establishing its roots in a dynamic Midwestern market. At the helm as the sole Member and Manager of Scoop Brothers, LLC since its inception is Michael K. Johnson, who also holds the same positions for Scoop Brothers Management, LLC, an affiliate responsible for managing company-owned outlets. The establishment of this new entity in early 2023 signifies a fresh and ambitious venture into franchising, building upon Michael K. Johnson's decade-plus experience in business ownership and over five years in real estate development, providing a robust leadership foundation. The Scoop Brothers franchise is designed to offer premium soft serve dessert and ice cream shops operating under the distinctive "Scoop Brothers" name and associated marks, which are actively protected. The brand's core offering centers on a curated selection of high-quality soft serve and ice cream products, aiming to carve out a niche in the competitive dessert market by focusing on a premium experience that prioritizes flavor, texture, and presentation. This strategic positioning seeks to appeal to consumers who value quality ingredients, innovative flavors, and a welcoming, clean atmosphere in their dessert choices, distinguishing itself from more traditional fast-food dessert options. The operational model for the Scoop Brothers franchise is built from the ground

Why Scoop Brothers Doesn't Appear in Public SBA Data

The SBA 7(a) program publishes loan-level data for every approved franchise borrower. Scoop Brothers does not currently appear in those public records — and that absence carries useful information for prospective franchisees evaluating this brand.

Likely explanations for the absence

  • The brand began franchising recently (2 years ago) — the SBA reporting pipeline trails new-franchise activity by 12–24 months.
  • With under 25 units system-wide, transaction volume is small enough that any SBA activity could fall below the reporting visibility threshold in any given fiscal year.

Absence from SBA records does not mean a brand is un-fundable. It typically means the franchise system uses alternative capital sources, or that current franchisees self-fund, secure conventional bank financing, or roll over equity from a prior business sale rather than going through an SBA-guaranteed 7(a) loan. For prospective Scoop Brothers franchisees, the practical question is which financing path actually closes for this brand's profile.

Data window: SBA 7(a) approvals reported through the most recent FOIA release. Absence of Scoop Brothers from this window does not reflect lender denial — it reflects no 7(a)-program activity recorded for this brand in the public dataset.
