What is a Recession-Proof Franchise?


When the state of the economy is looking uncertain, or even already taking a turn for the worse, financial stability becomes more important than ever. While there are no 100% guarantees in any business, there are some sectors which have endured through the hardest of times because of their essential nature. Out of the several types of 
franchises that can hold out against a recession , “food and beverage” is listed in the top spot. Even during a recession, people need to eat, so places like grocery stores and restaurants can maintain or even grow revenue despite an unfavorable economic climate.

Choosing a franchise to invest in is an important decision, and in a rough economy, that decision needs to be a strategic one as well. To ensure you pick a recession-proof franchise, investors should seek out business opportunities that provide necessary goods or services, can demonstrate growth (including during a recession), and are run by management staff who care about both their customers and their franchisees. For all of these qualities and more, look no further than Famous Toastery!


Famous toastery weathered the pandemic


During the height of the pandemic, while plenty of other businesses struggled to adapt and later failed to remain in operation, Famous Toastery was quick to innovate. Within a matter of days, the corporate team was able to develop a new point of sale (POS) system, so online ordering was available for customers. From there, franchise owners had the freedom to make whatever adjustments they felt would be beneficial for their individual locations. As a result, by advertising locally and finding ways to make a powerful impact on surrounding communities when it mattered most, Famous Toastery was able to thrive. Collaboration became a key factor. When franchise owners came up with great ideas, the corporate team worked with them to bring those ideas to life.

Innovation played a significant role in making it through the pandemic, but there is another reason why Famous Toastery was able to weather the storm: the food! Breakfast, brunch, and lunch are immensely popular meals. Especially during quarantine, a little bit of comfort in the form of fresh, healthy food proved to go a long way.

Today, the desire to connect with loved ones over a shared meal is stronger than ever. Famous Toastery provides an excellent venue for friends and families to join together and enjoy affordable, made-to-order breakfast, brunch, and lunch. Our customers know when they can expect only quality ingredients from us, like our 100% organic, pure maple syrup.


Why Famous Toastery?


Regardless of whether the economy is booming or looking not so hot, people will always need to eat and crave good meals they don’t have to make for themselves. Famous Toastery can weather any economic storm by providing the freshest ingredients and service that makes customers feel famous themselves. With the addition of online ordering and catering services, the menu at Famous Toastery is available when customers crave it.

This is the story of how a 24-unit regional breakfast-and-lunch chain with a marketing staff of two pulled off the title sponsorship of a nationally televised college bowl game … on six weeks’ notice. Stadium renovations forced the move of the 2023 Bahamas Bowl to Charlotte, N.C.—the home turf of Famous Toastery. The chain had recently inked a partnership with NASCAR driver (and 2021 Daytona 500 champ) Michael McDowell, who connected ESPN events with Famous Toastery, according to VP of Marketing Lorna Martinez. And, thus, the Famous Toastery Bowl, which took place on Dec. 18 between Western Kentucky University and Old Dominion University at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, was born, complete with toast mascot racing at half time, the chain’s first TV ad, and WKU’s victory celebration that featured players with fistfuls of toast, making “toast angels” on the field and throwing slices of bread into the sky. “We are a small bunch when it comes to Famous Toastery,” Martinez said. “You would think that a brand like this has, you know, at least some sort of division of PR or marketing. We’re a marketing team of two … We’re a small group but we all knew we would pull ourselves up by the bootstraps and make this happen. So, I think that’s the beauty of it. It felt like, all right, this is our underdog brand that could, the little engine that could … And, so, there was never a doubt in our minds that, you know, six weeks, let’s just get it done.”  Getting it done included a long punch list, one most sponsors take a year to complete. Among the tasks: Creating a media plan to announce the bowl game, preparing for the coin toss and half-time show, building a 30-second TV spot from scratch, creating a logo, writing radio ads, developing a social media strategy and, perhaps most importantly, figuring out how to capitalize on the Famous Toastery Bowl long after the stadium had emptied.
