Garbanzo expanding into Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio

April 30, 2019

Garbanzo Mediterranean Fresh is moving soon into Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio via an area development agreement with Lee Kleiner and Brian Kahn of Janes Franchising Llc. The deal calls for 25 locations across the three states over the next five years, according to a company press release.

"One of the most enticing reasons we chose Garbanzo was the off-premise opportunity," Kleiner said in the release. "The potential to augment the bottom line with an incremental revenue stream from catering is unparalleled. I watched a Colorado team prepare, deliver and set up a $12,000 order like it was no big deal. That was the clincher."

In addition to franchising with Garbanzo, Kleiner and Kahn are multi-unit operators of Dairy Queen and Which Wich Superior Sandwiches in Indiana.

Garbanzo, headquartered in Colorado, has 30 locations nationwide.
