Brand Summary
We believe in bringing people together to a place of a thousand good times. Your best night out, an experience you can’t help but love.
When the idea for Gigglewaters was born in 2016, we had a vision of the experience we wanted to create. We knew top quality ingredients, mouthwatering, craveable entrees, exquisite cocktails and a well-curated bar, exemplary customer service and an exacting eye for details were paramount in creating an atmosphere of a thousand good times. As we’ve grown year after year, we’ve perfected how to create an experience you can’t help but love.
Gigglewaters is so much more than just another restaurant. It’s the heartbeat of a community. We’re there for first dates and wedding proposals, family reunions and baby showers, movies you know by heart and share with your kids for the first time. There’s nothing like walking out into your bar on a jumping Saturday night, seeing the ear-to-ear smiles on guests’ faces and knowing you helped put them there.
BRICK & MORTAR
Our full service restaurant, bar & one screen classic movie theater is unlike any concept we’ve come across and we’re looking for people who are equally extraordinary. From finding a location, to build out, grand opening & ongoing operations, we’ll be there to support you every step of the way. If you’ve ever dreamed of owning your own Gigglewaters®, reach out and take the first step.
FOOD TRUCKS
Our Gigglewaters® Mobile Kitchen combines our award-winning food with the excitement of life on the road! Set your own schedule, be your own boss and bring the Giggles to a neighborhood near you! Our state-of-the-art Food Trucks and Trailers set the standard for a mobile Gigglewaters experience. If you’ve always wanted to live a life full of adventure and travel while running a show-stopping Food Truck, contact us and get started today.
If you’ve dreamed of owning your own location, where your financial success is directly related to how well you hold to Gigglewaters’® core values, implement the systems we’ve developed, connect with your community & ensure that guests truly have their best night out, we’d love to invite you to join the Gigglewaters family of franchisees.

Frequently asked questions
I have never run a restaurant before. Is Gigglewaters still a good business opportunity for me?
You can definitely still own and operate a Gigglewaters® because we give you all the training and support you need. We’re looking for candidates with a willingness to work hard and a great attitude; we can teach you the rest.
Am I expected to work in my Gigglewaters restaurant?
It’s important to be an engaged owner with your finger on the pulse of your business. We expect that our owners will be involved in the daily business and do not allow passive investors. That being said, an owner-operator could have partners in their franchise that are passive investors.
Can I invest in just the food truck?
Yes! The food truck is a standalone franchise opportunity for those investors looking for a lower cost mobile business. It’s also a great way to get started in the Gigglewaters franchise family with potential to expand to a brick and mortar restaurant! We have options for both trucks and trailers, with an Initial Investment starting from only $113,000!
