Prepared for Clementine's Naughty & Nice Creamery
You raised $6M to go national. Let's make parlor #50 as unforgettable as parlor #1.
Clementine's earned its cult following one small-batch scoop at a time. Katalyst helps micro-creameries and multi-unit service brands scale that experience into dozens of locations — without losing the craft that made the line worth the wait.
The hard part isn't the next parlor. It's the next fifty.
You proved the concept, raised the capital, and built a 25,000 sq ft FDA-certified facility with capacity for 50 parlors. Scaling the brand is now a service-design problem — and that's exactly what Katalyst solves.
Protect the craft
Less than 30% overrun, more than 16% butterfat, scratch-made inclusions. The details that earn the line are the hardest things to hold consistent across fifty parlors.
Repeatable economics
Going from 11 to 50+ means every new parlor needs strong, predictable location economics — not a one-off buildout that drains the margin you fought for.
Speed without chaos
A corporate-owned plus franchised model only works if you can open faster with controlled costs, and hand franchisees a system that runs the same in St. Louis or Lenexa.
The Katalyst Methodology, mapped to Clementine's.
Create Success
Servicescapes that scale the experience
We design servicescapes that balance Customer, Employee, and Owner experience — so a Lenexa parlor feels like the Central West End original, and every scooper has a space built to deliver legendary hospitality.
Replicate Success
Open new parlors faster, for less
Our Quick Brick Framework helps you open locations more easily with controlled costs and speed — built to fight the construction-industrial complex that quietly eats multi-unit growth budgets.
Setup for Success
Franchisees win first
As you launch franchising in 2026, we launch your partners with excellence — proven systems, fixture packages, and rollout support so franchisees win, and the Clementine's brand scales on repeat.

Why Clementine's and Katalyst fit.
We're in your backyard
Katalyst designs and manufactures from North Kansas City — the same market where your Kansas City and Lenexa parlors open in Summer 2026. Close enough to be on-site, not just on a call.
We know multi-unit food & beverage
We've built servicescapes for Hawaiian Bros, Red Door Grill, Goodcents, and The Roasterie. We understand QSR and hospitality unit economics, not just retail buildouts.
In-house design and manufacturing
We don't just draw fixtures — we build them, controlling cost, durability, and speed. For uBreakiFix we cut store-opening install time by 60% and supported 115 new locations in twelve months.
Built for franchise scale
Our entire methodology is franchisee-first — exactly the model Clementine's needs as it moves from a regional cult favorite to a national, vertically integrated franchise brand.
Brands like yours, in their own words.
“I’m what would be considered a very satisfied customer, but it goes beyond that. I’m impressed with the creativity of their designs, their knowledge of the industry, both theirs and mine, and mostly I’m pleased with how good they are to work with. They’re just great people. There are few vendors that I would put my stamp on, but these guys have been so good to work with that I don’t mind one bit sticking my neck out for them. You will enjoy working with them, and your business will benefit from it.”
“Katalyst made life for everyone at uBreakiFix easier by identifying gaps in our store design process and tailoring a program that would work specifically for our franchisees. They listened to our pain points, used insight from their own extensive retail backgrounds, and created a system that integrated directly into current processes. Their expertise was critical in our ability to develop over 115 new locations after using them for just twelve short months.”
