## Story

Main Squeeze Juice Co. has officially begun its journey into the world of franchising. According to a recent article in Fast Casual, the brand has signed a multi-unit agreement less than a year after first launching as a business. The new development will occur in Houston, Texas.

"We wanted to invest in something and expand our portfolio but never considered franchising until Main Squeeze came along. We wanted to be a part of it and we're thrilled to be the first franchisees to help spread the mission," said franchisee Tabatha Jones.

The locations will be co-owned by Jones and her fiancé Jeff Drost. In addition to operating the new Main Squeeze locations, Drost will be further involved with the brand through his position as a sales and marketing executive.
