Runza Restaurants vs Beach Hut Deli Franchise Comparison

Owning a Runza Restaurant isn't just about serving sandwiches - it's about serving communities. We opened our first restaurant in Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1949, and we're still a family-owned business serving communities in Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado and Iowa. Keeping it close to home ensures each Runza Restaurant gets hands-on support from headquarters, and each Runza meal is made with the same commitment to quality, chain-wide. We're always on the lookout for great people to become part of our family and grow Runza 's presence in the areas we serve. If you're interested, we encourage you to learn more about our process and how we support franchises. Then, peruse other Frequently Asked Questions and read some Franchisee success stories.

We are actively seeking Franchisee candidates in Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Iowa, Missouri and Wyoming only.

In 1981, Troy Feist created a food service concept that his  friends would enjoy.  Troy’s vision was to develop a restaurant with a beach resort culture. He wanted to serve great food and craft beers on draft while listening to music he loved. Now, for over 35 years, Beach Hut Deli has been serving unique salads, amazing sandwiches and craft beers in an unique environment. Our strategy for growth is to expand with qualified franchisees we support as owners in the Beach Hut Deli Ohana.

The initial Franchisee Fee is $35,000 for first time purchasers, $19,000 for existing BEACH HUT DELI franchisees purchasing an additional traditional, stand-alone franchise, $20,000 for Ohana Applicants, and, $7,500 for an existing Beach Hut Deli franchisee purchasing an express franchise location.
