New Fast Food Offerings Whet Franchisees' Appetites
Fast-food franchises continuously evolve to tempt patrons with healthier fare, creative services, and fresh approaches to quick cuisine.
Despite the bad rap fast food receives from the media, the reality is we need fast food to keep our precisely-timed lifestyles humming. Thankfully, the fast-food industry is brimming with exciting franchising opportunities offering healthier menu items and a greater diversity of dine-and-dash options.
New Ethnic Foods Offer Change of Pace
Even though America is a great melting pot of ethnic diversity, our fast food has traditionally leaned toward burger-and-fries fare, with a sprinkling of tacos and stir-fries tossed in for variety. Today, franchises are emerging with interesting cultural adaptations on the fast-food theme. As the following examples show, a whole big world of gastronomic delights is waiting to be enjoyed:
- Kolache Factory - this Eastern European bakery/cafe specializes in kolaches, a pastry stuffed with either sweet or savory fillings, including fruits, cheeses, and meats. The menu also includes gourmet coffees and other pastries, such as cinnamon rolls, croissants, and strudel niks. Industry news points to tremendous growth in the brown-bag breakfast market.
- Opa! Souvlaki of Greece - this Greek food franchise originated in Canada and capitalizes on the current craze for Mediterranean cuisine. Combining authentic ingredients with freshly-baked pita bread, customers can customize their orders as they watch their food being prepared in an "up-front" kitchen. U.S. franchisees can still be among the first to bring this cuisines to their areas.
- Bonehead's Grilled Fish and Piri Piri Chicken - inspired by a group of restaurateurs who wanted to create tasty, affordable chicken and fish dishes without frying, this franchise offers hauntingly delectable sauces featuring the South African Piri Piri pepper--which is rumored to be an aphrodisiac.
- Jerk Q'Zine Caribbean Grille - with exotic menu items like jerk chicken, Escabeche fish, curried goat, and Jamaican beef turnovers, patrons will feel like they've experienced an island vacation over their lunch hour. The franchisor, a native-born Jamaican, also owns Caribbean Food Delights, and supplies franchisees with the highest quality baked goods and products needed to maintain authentic Caribbean flavors.
Old Favorites Take a New Spin
Hot dog! The following franchising opportunities turn ordinary food into extraordinary new delights:
- Jodi Maroni's Sausage Kingdom - no mystery meat here, Jodi Maroni's poultry, pork, and/or beef sausages are coarsely ground to show off their flavorful, offbeat seasonings, including plantains, pomegranates, and an orange-garlic-cumin combo.
- Cereality - breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so it makes sense to have a restaurant totally dedicated to cereal. A toppings bar, milk-tight bucket bowl, and affordable prices make this a G-R-R-Reat franchising opportunity.
- The Fractured Prune Donut Shoppe - the quirky name reflects the franchisor's sense of humor, not the ingredients! These customized cake donuts are served hot and finished to the customer's specs with a wide selection of homemade glazes and toppings.
From soup (Zoup! Fresh Soup Co.) to nuts (P.B.Loco Peanutbutterlicious Cafes), there are hundreds of unique, new franchising opportunities available to cater to every taste.
