TL;DR
I Heart Mac & Cheese And More is expanding its fast-casual concept nationwide with 16 new locations across eight US states. The new locations are slated to open in 2021.
The rapidly developing franchise has locations already open across Florida, New York, Texas, Georgia, and Indiana with several more in development including the newly announced Baytown, TX, San Jose, CA, Gulf Breeze, Doral, Homestead, Kendall, and Naples, FL, West Lake, Ohio, Greenville, Steele Creek and Mathews, NC, Grand Rapids, Saginaw, and Troy, MI, Worcester, MA, and Woodbury, MN.
While all specific locations are still to be determined, these sixteen franchises are slated to open in 2021.
“We are expanding our brand during a time where competitors in the space are downsizing, and in some cases, closing their doors,” I Heart Mac & Cheese and more CEO Steve Giordanella shared. “This unprecedented momentum across our growing franchisee community validates our hypothesis that consumers want something different from the traditional fast-food model - and we are able to deliver that to them."
