A Recipe for Success
Sticky Fingers Cooking® started with a simple idea: teach kids to cook—and watch curiosity and confidence grow. What began as one stand-alone program quickly proved something bigger. Demand grew. Results followed.
Today, we’re expanding nationwide with a work-from-home, high-margin, low-overhead model built for real growth. Our franchise owners don’t just run strong businesses—they create impact, build community, and generate meaningful income.
This is a business that works.
This is a model that scales.
This is a brand people trust.

A Franchise Owner Community That Grows Together
Sticky Fingers Cooking® is more than a franchise—it’s a community of franchise owners built on trust, innovation, inspiration, and impact.
89% women. 56% people of color. 5% LGBTQ+. 5% veterans.
Diverse. Driven. Growing together.
Our franchise owners stay connected through ongoing learning, leadership roundtables, and peer groups—real support, real relationships, real growth.
Our annual Franchise Owner Summit brings it all together—where owners learn, lead, and celery-brate.
Join a community of franchise owners who show up, lift up, and grow together.
Hear what our employees have to say about us.
We’re not the only ones who think that after-school programs are important.
Parents of nearly 30 million children want after-school programs, yet 22.6 million kids still lack access due to limited availability.
The impact is clear: 84% of parents say after-school programs help them work, and 75% say they increase kids’ excitement for learning.
The U.S. Department of Education reinforces this through its Engage Every Student initiative, emphasizing that out-of-school programs are critical to students’ academic, social, and emotional growth.
And the opportunity is growing. The global after-school market is projected to reach $62B+ by 2033.
Sticky Fingers Cooking® meets this demand with a mobile, high-margin model—bringing hands-on cooking directly to kids while you build a business with purpose and profit.
