Young Chefs Academy began in a kitchen.
Specifically, Julie Burleson’s kitchen. At the time, Julie was running a catering business out of her home with a young son eager to help out. Always an entrepreneur at heart, Julie saw an opportunity to develop a company that would teach children and youth the valuable skills of cooking and baking. She envisioned brightly colored spaces centered around not only building the culinary skills of children and youth but also their ability to collaborate and work with others. She said, “I started thinking about a business that would involve kids, one that would make a difference in their lives–as well as their parents.” Thus, Young Chefs Academy was born.
Julie believed from the beginning that Young Chefs Academy should be a children’s franchise opportunity, because she knew that there were other like-minded entrepreneurs around the nation who cared about developing children and youth in their communities.
She was right. Young Chefs Academy is full of individual owners and employees passionate about developing strong relationships with their communities.
Since opening, Young Chefs Academy has evolved to include a wide range of opportunities for children and youth to engage with programming. From one-time events like birthday parties to seasonal events like summer camps or year-round membership options for students more serious about broadening their culinary skills, Young Chefs Academy continues to develop new programming, making us a fun place for participants and a profitable choice for franchise owners.
Today, Young Chefs Academy owners benefit from the expertise of a corporate team that has more than 130 combined years of experience in franchise ownership. With an excellent recipe for success that has produced thousands of young chefs around the nation, including some who have gone on to compete on popular reality television shows. With above-average potential profits and a business that is intrinsically rewarding (and fun!), Young Chefs Academy is truly one of a kind among children’s franchise opportunities.
