Founded 10 years prior in the Netherlands, Oil and Vinegar has focused on becoming a global brand name synonymous with high-quality international taste and experience. Thus far, the majority of the store development has been focused in Europe. As such, today our brand is relatively unknown in the broader US marketplace. Primarily through franchising, our vision is to make Oil and Vinegar a household name, pro- viding food enthusiasts in local markets the opportunity to experience our unique international flare.

With our focus now on the US Market, our search has began for passionate entrepreneurs who are ready to chase the dream of running their own business. What Oil and Vinegar has to offer is a retail concept vastly different than anything in the market and one that appeals to the gourmet interests.

As an Oil and Vinegar franchise business owner, you will have the opportunity to take customers on a tour of culture, healthy eating, and amazing flavors and - all in the comfort of YOUR OWN store!

At Oil and Vinegar, we believe we offer a one of a kind business opportunity that is fun, economically attractive and personally rewarding. However, finding the right "fit" for you as a potential business owner with our franchise model is what is most important and the first bridge to cross.

Immediately upon taking the first step toward owning an Oil and Vinegar franchise, you are connected to a team of food/business experts who have successfully introduced an International brand to the United States marketplace through a hands on franchise model.

Prior to opening his own Oil and Vinegar store in Bellevue Washington, CEO Matt Stermer held a top level job with Nike. Upon experiencing the brand in Holland, where the Oregon-native worked at Nike's European HQ, Stermer instantly knew this was a concept that would offer the US consumer a very different type of gourmet shopping experience and address an un-tapped void in the market. Stermer left Nike with a longing to fulfill his entrepreneurial drive and decided to bring the Mediterranean flair back home to the Pacific Northwest.

With a shift in our economic climate, thousands of Americans are seeking the opportunity to be their own boss and place their career and income prospects in their own hands. Franchise ownership represents a great way to get a fast start with a business of your own without the start-up challenges of creating a recognizable trade name and brand identity, formulating the interior design of a shop, developing a merchandise plan and establishing a supply network, among other things.

Oil & Vinegar Franchise Testimonials

“After going to 6 banks, we finally were granted an SBA loan to allow us to chase our dream of owning our own retail store. As customers of an Oil & Vinegar store for a number of years, we fell in love with the concept and set our mind to having one of our own. What we really like about Oil & Vinegar is that it looks and feels like a small shop you would find in South Europe and is not your typical franchise profile….when we tell people this is a franchise, people are really surprised. The support through the entire process has been really great. There are so many little details about starting up a retail business, having the franchise HQ there to help is a blessing. We are extremely happy with our decision to jump feet first into owning an Oil & Vinegar franchise and the timing heading out of this down economy couldn’t have been better in getting the business going.”
Jessica & Mike Winn - Spokane, WA - Franchise Owners

“The Oil & Vinegar business model was really attractive to us from a financial perspective as well as a lifestyle career perspective. We left corporate jobs to control our lives and owning an Oil & Vinegar franchise has given us that flexibility and personal satisfaction we were looking for. We have been very pleased with the results of our first store in the 4 years in business and are planning to open our second in the coming year while there are still some great real estate opportunities available in prime locations.”
