Schlotzsky’s gains growth momentum

June 23, 2011

Schlotzsky’s has announced that it has signed 75 franchise agreements for a total of 25 restaurants that will each house the Schlotzsky’s, Cinnabon and Carvel concepts under one roof.

Company executives said the restaurants will begin to open throughout New Jersey and Texas during the next six to 12 months. The first development agreement was signed with New Jersey-based Better Bunz LLC for 17 tri-brand locations (a total of 51 agreements between the three concepts), to open in areas throughout New Jersey. Meanwhile, Texas-based Sac-N-Pac inked the second deal, with eight tri-brand locations, for a total of 24 agreements, to open throughout Houston, San Antonio and Central Texas.

“Together, these agreements represent the largest in Schlotzsky’s history,” said Kelly Roddy, president. “We are thrilled to expand the brand throughout Texas and New Jersey with a talented group of business savvy entrepreneurs.”

While Anthony and Lama Dalleggio of Better Bunz, LLC will own the new Schlotzsky’s restaurants, their daughter, Lea, will oversee operations. In addition, the Dalleggio’s will work with experienced restaurateurs as part of their team to help with site selection, marketing and operations.

Family-owned and operated fuel and grocery retailer Sac-N-Pac will open non-traditional interstate/convenience connected locations primarily operated along major highways and travel plazas. Each Schlotzsky’s restaurant will share a building with the fuel/convenience retail and have its own entrance, a separate drive-thru and a connected pass-through in the building.
