COLUMBIA, MD – Toastique, the gourmet toast, juice and smoothie franchise, has announced the grand opening of its location at 6201 Mango Tree Road Columbia, Maryland, 21044, on February 25, 2023.

To celebrate this opening, Toastique will be offering the community awesome deals to introduce locals to the brand and give those already familiar with the healthy concept a reason to become loyal fans. The first 100 customers will receive $50 in rewards dollars to spend on their new favorite menu items.

“We couldn’t be more excited to be expanding Toastique across Columbia,” said Brianna Keefe, founder and CEO. “Healthy eating isn’t going out of style, and we know the consumer demand is only growing. Therefore, we want to make sure that anyone who lives near Toastique checks us out, and we promise, once they try our top notch ingredients and thoughtfully curated menu, they will keep coming back for more.”

Kalpin Patel, Tushar Patel and Darshak Patel, the franchise owners and local residents behind this upcoming Toastique location in Columbia, say they are thrilled to join the Toastique family and are ready to make healthy eating more convenient in their community. The high school friends worked together and wanted to do something with the experience they had.

“We were looking for a franchise that promoted healthy and fresh food that people would love, and luckily we found Toastique,” said Kaplin. “We chose Columbia because we all live in the area and believe the Merriweather District will be a great fit for the brand, with plenty of development and great opportunities.”

Toastique, a gourmet toast franchise founded in 2018 by former D1 collegiate cheerleader Brianna Keefe, believes healthy food should be simple to understand and appreciate, easy to enjoy, and above all, accessible to everyone. With a unique menu that includes toast-focused creations, all-natural smoothies, cold-pressed juices and açaí bowls, Toastique is truly unlike any other health-focused franchise on earth. After the flagship Toastique location in Washington, D.

C., generated over $1 million in sales during its first year of operation, Keefe franchised the concept and has expanded it to include five units open in the D.C.
