McAlister's Deli has announced plans to develop 17 restaurants throughout Indiana, South Carolina and Georgia as part of new multi-unit development agreements with two existing franchise groups.
“We are pleased that our existing franchisees are continuing to expand with McAlister’s Deli,” said McAlister’s Deli President and CEO Frank Paci. “Their commitment to develop demonstrates their confidence in the brand’s strength and its ability to provide franchisees with an attractive investment.”
McIndy Ventures LLC, a current McAlister’s franchisee with 16 restaurants, will develop 14 new restaurants in Indiana with the first location scheduled to open in the last quarter of 2014.
“We appreciate the great response we have received thus far in Indiana and look forward to introducing new guests to our great food and genuine hospitality,” said Charlie Hensley, owner of McIndy Ventures. “With this new development agreement, we will almost double our presence in the state and plan to open the first location in late 2014.”
DMAC81 LLC, another existing franchisee with 10 McAlister’s restaurants, plans to open three restaurants in Georgia and South Carolina with the first location slated to open in the second quarter of 2014 in Georgia.
“We are excited to announce our new locations and look forward to serving new communities starting next year,” said Dale Mulvey, owner of DMAC81 LLC. “Our expansion will begin with a location in Pooler, Ga., with additional growth to follow.”
