Frequently Asked Questions

Is Zeppe's Italian Ice and Frozen Custard growing or shrinking?

Zeppe's Italian Ice and Frozen Custard doesn't have enough SBA loan activity in both FY2025 and FY2026 to calculate a reliable year-over-year trend. For context, it ranks #545 of 1,075 Restaurants & Food brands by total SBA loan count since FY2020 -- a snapshot of scale, if not of trend.

How much does it cost to open a Zeppe's Italian Ice and Frozen Custard franchise?

We don't have that figure -- investment ranges and fees come from a franchisor's Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), which this site doesn't parse (see methodology). The average SBA loan size of $419K is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.

What's the SBA loan default rate for Zeppe's Italian Ice and Frozen Custard?

Zeppe's Italian Ice and Frozen Custard only has 3 SBA loans on record -- too few to calculate a meaningful charge-off rate on its own. For context, Restaurants & Food brands overall see a 1.3% charge-off rate across 11,372 loans.
