## Story

As part of the agreements, Young Chefs Academy has new locations coming to the Austin market – specifically Bee Cave and Southwest Austin – in addition to Sandy Springs and Warner Robins, Georgia as well as locations in Florida including Sarasota, Maitland, Lake Mary and Oviedo. And in the Northeast in Plainview and Garden City, New York.

“We feel so blessed to welcome these individuals to the YCA family who share in our passion for providing culinary education and valuable life skills to children,” said Julie Burleson, founder and CEO of Young Chefs Academy. “We are eager to watch these franchisees make a difference in their own communities- all through the joy of cooking.”

Among the individuals who recently signed on to become franchisees are husband and wife duo Daphne and Tarrell Register, who have been part of the YCA family since their daughter mentioned her interest in cooking. As strong advocates for extracurricular activities, the Registers didn’t think twice when signing her up for classes, even though it was a 1.5 hour drive each way. The valuable, real-life skills that their child is learning at YCA is worth the drive.

“As a veteran, it allows me to utilize my learned military skills of following a structured system,” explained Tarrell Register. “We knew YCA was the right fit for us because of its family-oriented values and the support we received right off the bat,” added Daphne Register. “This is a way for us to give back to our community, and provide other military families a place to take their children to learn gain confidence, learn life skills and have fun while doing it.”
