Last month longtime Rally's franchisee Joe Hertzman purchased an additional 23 locations throughout the Louisville and Lexington areas. Hertzman purchased the restaurants from Dave Miller who had owned them since 2000.

"I told him for years, 'when you're ready to call it a day, come knock on my door,' " Hertzman told Louisville Business First.

Now, he's planning expansion and renovations, both sprucing up the existing locations and adding new ones to Rally's once-hometown of Louisville. Hertzman plans to add five additional locations over the next five years.

"There's a number of neighborhoods that certainly we think we could do well in where we don't have existing stores."
