About Point 5 Franchise
Point 5 is a retail franchise concept offering non-alcoholic products for customers choosing to be more mindful of their alcohol intake or embracing sobriety.
Franchisees operate a retail business location where they educate customers on non-alcoholic products, offer in-house samples, and provide private events both on and off site.
The target customers are people of all ages who are looking for sophisticated non-alcoholic beverage alternatives, including those pursuing sobriety, reducing alcohol consumption, or simply seeking premium non-alcoholic options.
