Toastique Celebrates Q3 with 9 New Openings, Record-Breaking Sales and Several Leadership Additions

CHATHAM, NJ - Toastique, the rapidly growing gourmet toast franchise, is wrapping up Q3 with several notable achievements, further establishing itself as an up-and-coming force in the breakfast and lunch segment. With nine new franchise openings this quarter alone — eight of which saw record-breaking grand opening sales — the brand has set the stage for an exciting Q4.

“This quarter has been exceptionally strong for us, and we anticipate this momentum to carry into Q4,” said Toastique CEO Brianna Keefe. “We now have a total of 112 units in development across 43 partners, many of which are multi-unit deals. The time has never been better to join the Toastique family”

In June, Toastique celebrated the opening of its Chatham, New Jersey store, which quickly became the busiest in the system. The brand also marked its first California location opening in August and witnessed two more openings in July. In total, the brand now has 20 locations open across the country.

With so many passionate franchisees joining the system, Toastique has also made sure to focus on optimizing support. The corporate support staff grew by 80% this past quarter, with key hires including Kelsey Forman as a corporate trainer, Taylor Briggs as an operations manager, Tristian Smith as a senior project manager and Jolie Richard joining as a marketing manager.

Looking forward to Q4 and 2023, the excitement shows no signs of slowing down for Toastique. “Our Tampa location is set to open in October, marking our third location in Florida,” Keefe said. “We're also eagerly awaiting the opening of our fifth Colorado store in Denver and our second Virginia store in Virginia Beach. Dallas is on the horizon for Q1 of next year as well, introducing Toastique to Texas for the first time. Lastly, we just closed on a six-unit deal in Westchester.”

On the consumer front, Toastique is set to introduce a Vegan soft serve ice cream in Tampa. This new offering will be complemented by gluten-free and dairy-free waffle cones, and a unique chocolate syrup made purely from coconut oil. “We're aiming to cater to the evening crowd, turning our locations into dessert hotspots,” said Keefe.

This quarter also saw the launch of Toastique’s new product line in the DC Metro area, Be Well Juice Cleanses. The cleanses are available for direct delivery to consumers, offering a convenient and accessible way to enjoy the benefits of juice cleansing. The new product line includes seven unique cleanses, featuring all the juices available in Toastique stores and eight new juices exclusive to Be Well.

Overall, despite its rapid growth, Toastique's commitment to health and quality remains unwavering. The brand believes that healthy food should be simple to understand and appreciate, easy to enjoy and above all, accessible to everyone. With a unique menu that includes toast-focused creations, all-natural smoothies, cold-pressed juices and açaí bowls, Toastique is truly unlike any other health-focused franchise on earth — offering all the benefits of a typical cold juice bar but with the added micro-café toast concept. The brand is healthy, fast-casual food — a rare combination in today’s restaurant industry.

As the year progresses, Toastique is eyeing several new markets for franchise growth. The brand's expansion strategy for the next year includes entering markets like Nashville, Charlotte, San Jose, Los Angeles, Michigan, Omaha, Austin, Atlanta, San Antonio and Las Vegas.

“The impact we have had on our franchise owners' lives, both new and existing, is incredibly gratifying,” said Toastique CFO Kyle Izett. “We love seeing that success, and we are happy to be a part of it. We can’t wait to see what the future holds as the Toastique concept continues to appeal to the consumers of today.”

For those interested in joining the Toastique family, the initial investment for a franchise ranges from $367,570 to $695,975. More details can be found at: https://1851franchise.com/toastique/info.
