About Franktitude

A Different Kind of Eatery Franktitude is a top notch alternative to fast food and quicker and more affordable than fast casual. At Franktitude, customers choose among 50 toppings to pile on their choice of franks (100% beef, turkey or veggie), or sandwiches (ciabatta, panini, or wraps) or salad. At Franktitude, you can eat as healthy�or as hearty�as you want. The Franktitude footprint is small which makes for a lower investment than most other restaurant franchises. Little or no actual cooking takes place which means exceptionally easy day-to-day operations. And every single restaurant is guaranteed a protected area so you don't have to worry about competing with your own brand!
