These hubs serve as preparation and distribution centers for the fresh, housemade ingredients that make up Grégoire’s menu. Because of this model, the concept requires a minimal brick-and-mortar footprint and staffing, and allows franchisees to focus on the customer and engage with the community.&nbsp;Grégoire does not require its owners to have a professional background in the food and restaurant industry.
