Love & Honey Fried Chicken Enters New Era of Franchise Growth with 20-Unit Florida Development Deal

TL;DR

Love & Honey Fried Chicken has entered a 20-unit development deal in Florida as part of its franchise growth strategy. The brand, founded in Philadelphia, is focused on expanding with operators who understand its discipline of multi-unit development and emotional connection.

Founded in Philadelphia, Love & Honey has built its reputation around premium, hand-dredged, freshly prepared fried chicken. In addition, scratch-made sauces, and a hospitality-driven experience are designed to make guests feel at home.

As the brand expands through franchising, its leadership team is focused on growing with operators who understand both the discipline of multi-unit development and the emotional connection that makes a restaurant brand resonate.

“This agreement represents exactly the kind of growth we envisioned for Love & Honey,” said Laura Lyons, Co-Founder of Love & Honey Fried Chicken. “Bringing the brand to Florida is a meaningful step in our expansion, and we are excited to introduce more communities to our chef-driven fried chicken, heartfelt hospitality, and commitment to quality.”

For Love & Honey, this agreement reflects the brand’s larger franchise growth strategy: expand intentionally with operators who can preserve the integrity of the guest experience while bringing the concept to new communities.

The brand’s positioning is rooted in quality, authenticity, and heartfelt hospitality. Its approach combines chef-driven culinary expertise with genuine care, modern restaurant operations, and belief that growth should strengthen relationships.

“Love & Honey was built on the idea that food can bring people together,” said Geoff Goodman, President and Partner of Love & Honey. “As the brand grows, we want every new restaurant to carry that sentiment through genuine hospitality, consistent execution, and food that feels memorable from the first bite.”
