TAMPA, FL&nbsp;—&nbsp;Iconic fondue franchise&nbsp;<a href="http://meltingpotfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=melting-pot-50th-anniversary-fondue-celebration-2728979" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Melting Pot</a>, which has built a national legacy thanks to its unique experiential dining offering, is celebrating 50 years of the Perfect Night Out with a year of special menu items and limited-time offers. Founded in 1975,&nbsp;<a href="http://1851franchise.com/meltingpot/info">Melting Pot</a> opened its doors and introduced a unique culinary experience centered around connection, celebration and shared moments. For five decades, the brand has delighted millions, becoming a go-to destination for celebration, reconnection, and any other scenario that requires a Perfect Night Out.“Clearly, the brand has evolved, and there's been a tremendous amount of innovation in terms of the menu, the beverage program and the experience itself,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/bob-johnston-4b6b0a4a/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=melting-pot-50th-anniversary-fondue-celebration-2728979" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Bob Johnston</a>, CEO. “But the 50th anniversary of Melting Pot is really a story about what has&nbsp;not changed. Visiting Melting Pot has always been about the experience. It's been about a form of entertainment in addition to satisfying your appetite for delicious food. It's been about the company that you keep around the fondue pot. And that has remained unchanged. It is the cornerstone of the Melting Pot, the foundation of the Melting Pot that has been built upon for 50 years. And it remains the strength of the brand, setting us apart from virtually any other restaurant concept.”The 50th-anniversary celebration officially kicks off on April 2nd and includes a limited-time Grand Reserve Cheese Fondue, available through April 30th. This special offering features award-winning Grand Cru Reserve and aged cheddar cheese, topped with candied bacon and golden chives in honor of the golden anniversary.&nbsp;While delicious, innovative menu items are an exciting part of the Melting Pot experience, the brand’s "Perfect Night Out" messaging has been central to the brand's identity for 50 years, emphasizing its ability to create an unparalleled dining experience for any occasion.&nbsp;This dedication to providing a place for celebration and connection extends beyond the restaurant's walls into the community, exemplified by Melting Pot's over-20-year&nbsp;<a href="https://www.meltingpot.com/charity-community.aspx?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=melting-pot-50th-anniversary-fondue-celebration-2728979" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">partnership with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital</a> and its annual Thanks and Giving fundraiser, which has raised millions of dollars for the charity, demonstrating a commitment to service that is as much a part of the Melting Pot legacy as its fondue.Melting Pot is also focused on growth and development, seeking qualified entrepreneurs for strategic expansion in key markets. For entrepreneurs looking to join the brand, there has never been a better time. While the heart of Melting Pot has not changed, the tools and support structures available to owners have been the subject of lots of meaningful innovation over the years.“A great deal has changed over the course of the Melting Pot's history when it comes to the business opportunity,” Johnston said. “Our systems and tools, processes, training, technology and analytics available today are best of breed. They are things most franchises cannot offer their owners. So, in that respect, there's been a great deal of change. The company has never been smarter and has never been able to assist franchisees at a greater level than we are able to and committed to today.”&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Melting Pot's evolution and growth initiatives have positioned it for continued success.
