The brand began the year landing on CNBC&rsquo;s list of the top six food franchises in America. They&rsquo;ve consistently won best breakfast and brunch awards in their hometown market, Charlotte, North Carolina, since the brand&rsquo;s inception more than a decade ago. And to date, they boast 17 locations throughout the Southeast.

Last spring, <a href="http://famoustoastery.1851franchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=famous-toastery-brings-seven-new-locations-to-untapped-markets-across-the-east-coast-in-2016-plans-to-open-in-four-new-states-in-2017-9815" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Famous Toastery</a> opened their very first Florida location in Jacksonville Beach, and in the fall, a franchisee opened in Loudon, Virginia. New restaurants are also in the pipeline for Philadelphia, New York, Colorado and Georgia &ndash; all new states for the brand. Additional new development will be scattered throughout South Carolina and North Carolina&mdash;most recently, a multi-unit franchisee signed on for 10 restaurants in Asheville, Greensboro and Raleigh-Durham.

&ldquo;More and more people are starting to hear about us. People are learning about our genuine passion for better-breakfast and lunch, served up in a welcoming and friendly culture. When they find out what Famous Toastery has to offer, people are either going out of their way to dine with us, or they&rsquo;re wondering what it&rsquo;ll take to bring the brand straight to them,&rdquo; said Robert Maynard, the founder and CEO of Famous Toastery. &ldquo;That tells us that there&rsquo;s a real need for Famous Toastery. Better-breakfast is still an untapped market, and we have so much opportunity to broaden our already-tremendous following of loyal and regular customers by adding new locations across the country.&rdquo;

Targeting New York in particular doesn&rsquo;t just make good business sense for Famous Toastery; however, Maynard and the brand&rsquo;s other founder, Brian Burchill, grew up just down the street from each other in a Long Island neighborhood. They then ended up living on the same block in New York City, where Maynard gave up a musical career to work on Wall Street while Burchill pursued an acting career. With Maynard&rsquo;s father a lieutenant in the New York City Fire Department during 9-11, the family&rsquo;s intense connection with the city grew, and it was a major driving factor in deciding to bring the area its first taste of Famous Toastery. Maynard&rsquo;s father, now a commercial real estate broker, was instrumental in procuring the first Long Island location, now in its early building stages. Maynard is targeting the rest of the tri-state area for additional growth&mdash;including upstate New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

As Famous Toastery continues to build out the East Coast, the brand is also looking to make a move Westward. In particular, they&rsquo;re looking to develop in Kentucky, Alabama, Florida, Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee and Georgia. In 2017, Famous Toastery has its sights set on signing 15 deals for a total of 75 locations.

&ldquo;There&rsquo;s a shift occurring lately in terms of what people look for when they&rsquo;re dining out. People are shunning the idea of the greasy-spoon and artificial ingredients. Instead, they&rsquo;re craving foods that are fresh and natural. They want meals that are made from scratch every single morning. We&rsquo;re bringing that concept to the booming breakfast and brunch crowds, and we believe that our growth potential is currently unmatched,&rdquo; Maynard said. &ldquo;From North Carolina to New York, people throughout the country all value those things&mdash;they want quality food without the pretention often seen in the brunch segment these days. And we&rsquo;re excited to finally bring that option to them.&rdquo;
