The offer to franchisees is in partnership with Craveworthy Brands.
Gregorys Coffee, a New York City-based coffee shop brand, announced it has launched a new franchise program.
The brand has been around for 20 years and has brewed the franchise program in partnership with Craveworth Brands, a multi-brand franchisor. Gregorys currently has 50 cafes open and said it plans to expand through franchising with “a proven brand, a time-tested model, deep guest loyalty and infrastructure built for long-term growth.”
“We’ve spent years building Gregorys with intention and care to ensure it stood the test of time before opening the door to franchising,” said Gregory Zamfotis, founder of Gregorys Coffee. “Our ‘Gregulars’ are the heart of this brand, and we wanted to grow in a way that protects what makes Gregor’s special – the taste of our coffee, the feel of our experience. With the support of an industry leader, we’re partnering with passionate operators who share that love for the hustle and grind and want to bring something meaningful to their communities.”
The franchise program is kicking off with an open house event in Old Bridge, New Jersey, scheduled for Feb. 17.
Gregorys Coffee said that franchisees will gain access to expertise in real estate, training, operations, supply chain, culinary, marketing and technology. This includes data-backed site selection, comprehensive onboarding and store training, followed by ongoing operational guidance to help owner-operators build strong teams and execute consistently, the brand said.
Craveworthy provides streamlined systems, purchasing power and centralized resources that allow franchisees to stay focused on delivering exceptional guest experiences. The franchisor is the parent company of Shaquille O’Neal-founded Big Chicken, Bd’s Mongolian Grill, Dirty Dough, Flat Top Grill, Fresh Brothers Pizza, Genghis Grill, Gregorys Coffee, Hot Chicken Takeover, Krafted Smashburgers, Lucky Cat Poke Co., Nomad Dawgs, Pastizza Pizza & Pasta, Scramblin’ Ed’s, Sigri Indian BBQ, Soom Soom Mediterranean, Taim Mediterranean Kitchen, The Budlong Southern Chicken and Wing It On!.
“In my 30 years in the restaurant industry, the brands that endure start with an excellent product – but even more, they’re built on people, purpose and genuine loyalty,” said Gregg Majewski, CEO and founder of Craveworthy Brands. “Gregorys has that soul. It is a coffee brand that has stood the test of time, earned a devoted community of Gregulars and now has the systems and support in place to expand above and beyond.”
Gregorys Coffee notes that its initial franchise growth is focused on high-density, high-opportunity markets where specialty coffee is part of the daily routine – from urban neighborhoods and commuter hubs to college towns and lifestyle centers. The brand also said that it is well-positioned to develop across key regions, including the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, Mountain West and select West Coast markets.
