Lenny's Subs Continues Aggressive Expansion
Lenny's Franchisor LLC has announced an agreement with JCP Renascent Group to open as many as 41 Lenny's Sub Shops in the Reno and Lake Tahoe, Nev., as well as Sacramento, Calif., markets. The franchising arm for Lenny's Sub Shops says the California investor group was awarded franchise rights in three northern California counties and three counties in Nevada.
Lenny's is on an aggressive growth path to open up to 500 units in the next few years. The chain recently opened restaurants in several new markets, including Charlotte, N.C.; Las Vegas and San Antonio, and execs have signed franchise agreements for Kansas, Michigan, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia.
Church's Isn't Chicken About Opening New Units
Church's Chicken, which passed $1 billion in sales this year after becoming independent, has signed franchise agreements with four new franchisees.
The agreements cover territories in Arkansas, Pennsylvania and Texas. The four are Crossroads Foods, Jonesboro, Ark.; MR Corp., Philadelphia; Alamo Group of Investments, Houston; and BF Zak Enterprises, Waxahachie, Texas.
Church's plan is for agreements resulting in 150 new units this year, according to Doug Pendergast, Church's executive v.p. and chief franchise officer. So far, franchises for 75 new stores have been awarded this year.
