The Banana Experience, a Philippine based company, that sells and promotes an all-banana based deserts which includes their famous Frozen Bananas. The company actually started by another name, “The Turon Experience”, back in 2007 where the founder already is selling an all-banana deserts like the Banana Fritters or “Turon” and Fried Bananas or “Banana Cue”, which are far from the new concept and what they are currently serving. He first experienced the Frozen Banana when he made a trip to the USA, which he decided will be the main product of his company.
In 2009, “The Turon Experience” was changed to “The Banana Experience” and since then, they’ve started a new concept in banana deserts. Their current line of products include their Frozen Banana, Banana Split in a Cup, Saba con Hielo, Jungle Smoothies, and the Honey-Dipped Banana Chips.
Their franchising system was developed by Francorp International Franchising Corp., and they are also a proud member of the Philippine Franchise Association (PFA).
