Religion has a very important place in India, and it duly affects a large part of our lives. The majority of India practices a polytheistic religion, and therefore it has a great deal of sacrosanct or religious places. These religious places often accumulate millions of followers of the deity enshrined there. Tirupati is one such widely followed religious place in Andhra, which attracts thousands of followers every day.
A business thrives and blooms on the mercy and availability of the market. These religious places have the acumen of gathering crowds in large numbers that have high purchasing power too. Thus, it becomes a win-win situation for a business or a franchise to start its services in Tirupati.
Sri Venkateswara Temple of Tirupati, situated at one of the peaks of Tirumala hills, attracts Hindu pilgrims’ scores. The entry of such a large populous in the city allows businesses to grow and bloom. The city offers business opportunities in every sector, such as tourism, food, lodging, desserts, fast foods, couriers, bakery, and many more. Since most of the city’s crowd is from outside, it is wise to open up a franchise outlet rather than starting one of your own, as familiarity with the business would help it attract visitors.
This blog post would aim to discuss a few of the successful franchise that one can own in Tirupati for better returns on their investment.
Giani’s –
An ice-cream parlor in a city that hosts a large number of tourists or pilgrims on a daily basis can be a good business idea. The idea will be gold if the ice-cream parlor is of Giani’s legend in its own field. Giani’s is synonymous with high quality and pocket-friendly delectable ice-creams with some innovative flavors. People visit religious places with their families, and what better than a Giani’s ice cream to provide for those children to make them happy.

The initial investment required to open an outlet of Giani’s is in the range of 11lakhs to 14lakhs, and the space required for the outlet should be 250 square feet.

Everybody searches for relaxation after a tiring day as the pilgrimage needs toil mentally and physically from the pilgrims. These hard conditions require some effortless self-care for the individuals, which the Juice salon provides with sincerity and responsibility.

Moreover, Tirupati is well known for the elite audience and bhakts it has, who visit there regularly.
