Former NFL Player Details Plans to Open his Second Restaurant in the Charlotte Region

Breakfast and brunch franchise thriving despite pandemic blows to the restaurant industry. Franchisee speaks out on plans to expand services in his second restaurant location.

The pandemic has hindered expansion plans for many restaurants, but not for Famous Toastery, the still-fast-growing breakfast, brunch and lunch franchise. The brand is set to open a new location in Northeast Charlotte with franchisee and former NFL player Justin Griffith.

“The way we navigated through COVID gives me hope for a second location,” Griffith told the Charlotte Observer. “I learned if you run it with the right people in the building, you can make it through these tough times.”

Griffith’s new location, for which he will own both the land and the building, is still in the early planning stages. The restaurant will have a large outdoor patio space and a focus on takeout. Griffith’s plan is to open late this year or early next year and hire 25 employees.
