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.

About Shuckin' Shack

"Shuckin

When the founders opened the first Shuckin’ Shack in 2007, their goal was to provide the highest quality seafood and drinks while removing all the pre-conceived notions of only getting great food a few times per year. Opening the second location in Historic Wilmington in 2012 brought similar success, even in a market flooded with seafood restaurants, taverns, and bars. One thing remained clear - Shuckin’ Shack was different than the tired “fry it all” seafood houses found all over the Southeastern United States. After a warm reception and a number of awards, as well as being featured in Coastal Living Magazine’s “22 Best Seafood Dives in America,” 2014 brought a new adventure: franchising. Sticking with the same mantra that brought two successful restaurants in North Carolina,

Shuckin’ Shack Oyster Bar can now be found in multiple states with over a dozen locations. The formula that works for “The Shack” can be found in their mission statement: “To show each guest ‘A Good Shuckin’ Time’ through fresh seafood, high-quality spirits, and exceptional customer service.”
