Own a Fruit Break

A premium fruit-based soft-serve and drinks concept for modern retail — self-serve real-fruit soft serve with toppings, and grab-and-go beverages, built for repeat visits and selective growth across New Zealand.

Why Fruit Break

A concept built for modern retail — not a passing trend.

  • Strong consumer appeal

    A colourful, craveable offer that fits everyday routines — not a sugar-heavy niche concept.

  • Premium, modern brand

    Fruit-first and modern — fresh, satisfying, and built for repeat visits.

  • Simple, attractive format

    Self-serve and grab-and-go flows that keep service fast and the experience consistent.

  • Broad audience

    Workers, gym-goers, families, and casual shoppers — dayparts that matter for retail.

Who it suits

We're looking for partners who match the brand — not just capital.

  • Hands-on owner-operators or capable business operators
  • Customer-focused leaders who care about quality on the line
  • Commercially sensible partners who understand retail execution
  • People aligned with a premium brand and a disciplined playbook

Store formats

The right model depends on site, catchment, and how you want to operate.

    Fruit Break Store — Full-format location for the complete Fruit Break experience — ideal for street-front shops, neighbourhood centres, and larger retail sites.
  • 02
    Fruit Break Kiosk — Compact format for high-footfall sites like malls and transport hubs, with a smaller footprint, simpler operation, and lower entry cost.
