MilkShake Factory: A Dessert Franchise

Rich Brand Heritage and Legacy

MilkShake Factory’s legacy traces back to 1914, originating as a small soda fountain and chocolate shop in Pittsburgh’s Lawrenceville neighborhood. First-generation chocolatiers and Greek immigrants, Charlie and Orania, founded their first chocolate shop and soda fountain. The concept of a milkshake was a cherished treat for the whole family. Home refrigeration was a luxury few could afford, so to savor the taste of ice cream, was cause for an excursion to a soda fountain.

In 2003, under the fourth-generation chocolatier, Dana Edwards Manatos, the family expanded the brand, transforming it into the MilkShake Factory located in Pittsburgh, featuring handspun milkshakes and premium chocolates. In mid-2023, MilkShake Factory entered the franchising market, and by the end of the same year, awarded over 50 franchise units, gaining significant traction for its unique and simple concept.
