Franchising
Dae Gee Korean BBQ opening locations in multiple states
January 18, 2023
Colorado-based Dae Gee Korean BBQ, a hybrid fast casual and full-service Korean barbeque concept, has signed four franchise development deals that will bring locations to Indiana, South Dakota, Texas and Mexico by year's end.
"Franchising has always been our long-term goal, and these new commitments only affirm our proven business model and will allow our franchise partners to introduce their communities to our dynamic food and exceptional dining experience," Dae Gee Founder Joseph Kim said in a company press release. "As we enter the New Year, we're grateful for the opportunity to expand our footprint and excited for what the future holds."
Founded in 2012, Dae Gee's rise in popularity began in 2015, when the chain was featured on restaurateur Guy Fieri's long-running food reality television series, "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives."
With five corporate-owned restaurants throughout Colorado's Front Range, Dae Gee plans to open as many five to 10 restaurants nationwide over the next 12 months and at least that many each year thereafter.
