Summarize with

Swig will enter the Pacific Northwest with an 11-unit franchise agreement with Sean Collins, Jared Collins and Ramey Mills. The franchisees plan to open their first Washington location by the end of 2026, with 10 additional locations planned as part of the agreement.

The Lehi, Utah-based beverage brand's drive-thru-focused model can operate in spaces as small as 800 to 850 square feet and does not require a traditional kitchen, according to the company. The model's design eliminates the need for complex kitchen infrastructure, helping operators streamline labor, reduce build-out costs and efficiently scale across multiple locations.

"Washington opens an important new chapter for Swig as we continue expanding our presence across the country," Swig President Todd Smith said in a press release.

Swig has signed franchise agreements this year for expansion in Chicago, Colorado, South Florida and South Texas. The company targets experienced multi-unit operators for its franchise growth.
