America’s love for breakfast is no secret. In fact, three in five Americans now say breakfast is their favorite meal of the day. While there are a number of breakfast restaurant options out there, people are tired of the old greasy diner and the stale food offered at fast-food chains. That’s why Famous Toastery was founded with the mission to deliver a unique breakfast experience to their guests that keeps them coming back for more. Not many other breakfast and brunch restaurants can boast a completely from scratch kitchen with fresh food made every single day. Famous Toastery can.
Famous Toastery was the brainchild of Brian Burchill and Robert Maynard, two childhood friends with a love of breakfast. In 2005, the two friends opened the first Famous Toastery in Huntersville, North Carolina, and the concept quickly took off. Now, there are nearly 30 franchise locations. The secret to growth has been a famously fresh menu, with 100% organic maple syrup, freshly squeezed orange juice, house-made sauces, meats roasted in house, and a guarantee that every meal is to order with no ingredient ever frozen. More than anything, Famous Toastery is known for great services.
Famous Toastery has gained a loyal customer base, with some people visiting three to four times a week, sometimes twice a day. Customers know they can get the best at Famous Toastery – no cutting corners for guests or on the menu. The breakfast industry is booming, with demand for high quality food and highly quality service. Famous Toastery has been able to deliver and make franchise owners famous in their community in the process. Whether you’re a Famous server, chef, or franchisee – Being Famous is a mindset that thrives at Famous Toastery.
One of the biggest struggles for a new business is the delicate time between opening and getting established in your community. That’s why Famous Toastery has kept startup costs incredibly low to take the burden off franchise owners, allowing them some flexibility and wiggle room while they get their feet on the ground. Keeping startup costs low also helps the franchise and franchisee as a whole to keep expanding Famous Toastery’s footprint in as many communities as possible.
The cost to open a Famous Toastery franchise ranges from $575,500 to $999,500, including a franchise fee starting at $45,000. Rest assured, Famous Toastery is always looking for ways to reduce the costs needed to open a restaurant by eliminating financial barriers. That means more selective real estate and site selection, cost efficient decor and equipment packages, as well as competitive food pricing and buying power.
Famous Toastery is also a great franchise to add to any franchise portfolio, especially if an investor is thinking of adding a food service brand. Increasingly, franchise owners want to hold a mix of concepts in order to diversify their revenue streams. The breakfast, brunch, and lunch industry is quickly emerging as a best bet investment for any franchise portfolio. In fact, the industry has burst into an $11 billion industry . And with most restaurants closing after lunch, franchise owners have flexibility to manage other investments.
"As someone with a good amount of experience in the food service space, I know a strong, passion-driven franchise concept when I see one," Mike Sebazco, newly appointed CEO of Famous Toastery, said in a company press release. "Famous Toastery stands out with not only an amazing menu, but also a community focus that prioritizes the best of the best in customer service. This all makes for a very exciting franchise opportunity — and it is only getting better.”
A franchise system is only as good as its franchisees, which is why Famous Toastery has made serious investments in its support platforms. At Famous Toastery, franchise owners undergo an extensive and robust training and support program from day one that makes you the expert on every single aspect of running a restaurant. And the support offered doesn’t stop there. Famous Toastery helps with real estate and site selection, effective marketing strategies, how to hire and retain excellent staff members, assistance on building a positive culture, and defining business goals. Famous Toastery’s support network is renowned in the industry and keeps the family feel inherent in the brand.
“I saw how much the team has been investing in franchisee support, operations, and marketing over the past few years,” Sabazco says, “and I knew it would be an honor to come aboard and help usher in a new era of growth for Famous Toastery.”
Famous Toastery is a perfect add-on to a franchise portfolio, as the brand is poised for rapid expansion across the U.S. In fact, Famous Toastery is set to nearly double its footprint to 50 restaurants just this year, a testament to the demand of one of the most famous breakfast and lunch options around.
