About Champion Cheesesteaks

The Champion Cheesesteaks franchise has been designed to deliver maximized results, profitability and operating efficiencies through a highly refined and structured food truck franchise. The Champion Cheesesteak franchise is a derivation of what was the Philly Connection Franchise system. It's founder, Mr. Roy Brostrand developed the Philly Connection in the 1980's and has long since sold off his share of ownership in the 280 store chain. The Champion model is his newest creation which takes the winning formula of The Philly Connection and combines it with the hottest segment in food service growth - the Food Truck business. The concept is simple, having manufactured a streamlined food truck operation that manages to fit an entire operating kitchen into a mobile food truck business allows food truck franchisees to operate without complexity. Through technology, skilled design and a keen understanding for the food truck business, Mr. Brostrand and his team of engineers were able to build and develop a food truck that has no comparison on the market. The Champion Cheesesteak franchise also was developed with a focus on marketing, business development and understanding how to find ideal locations for the food truck operation and how to get the customer in tune with where the food truck would be at any particular time. The Champion branding is meant to be bold, game-changing and to the point. The food quality is top-notch and the concept all together has no peers in the food service industry. If you see the massive potential in the explosive food truck franchise industry and have the energy, intensity and drive to build your own business as part of the Champion franchise network,contact us.
