TL;DR
Daily Jam is accelerating its franchise plans, targeting 10 to 20 new units in the next year, including expansion into Denver. The brand is seeking candidates with previous experience in restaurant operations to grow the concept nationwide.
After announcing a strategic franchise growth initiative and complete rebrand in early 2019, the concept is ready to build on its success, targeting 10 to 20 new units signed over the next year, including Denver. With several openings on the horizon, Daily Jam is on track to meet its goals for 2019 and conquer the cravings of its pre-established fan-base into markets like Phoenix, Las Vegas, Denver and Dallas.
“Daily Jam is pushing the envelope on the modern-day brunch experience with a fast- casual setting offering a full-service experience, and the vibrant, high-energy atmosphere will excite even our groggiest guests,” said Berekk Blackwell, President of Daily Jam. “Expanding the concept into Denver is the natural next step as we continue to enter high-energy markets in need of a breakfast overhaul. We’re looking forward to making Daily Jam every brunch and breakfast enthusiast’s “go-to” neighborhood breakfast spot in Denver.”
Previously known as NCounter, Daily Jam’s first location, which opened in 2011 in Tempe, Arizona, is revered far and wide by students and families alike as the best breakfast in town. Soon its reputation grew, drawing in young professionals and tourists to Tempe’s booming Mill Avenue. Two additional locations opened in Phoenix on North 1st Avenue and Mayo Boulevard, and it quickly became clear that Daily Jam wasn’t just a Millennial favorite, but a fresh take on breakfast and lunch dining that the whole family could enjoy.
“Entrepreneurs are drawn to the concept because they have the opportunity to build an exciting business in a booming category and still be home for dinner,” added Berekk. “Daily Jam offers a better work-life balance – we want our franchisees out and enjoying time with their families. Our ideal franchisee is someone who ‘jams’ with the upbeat and eclectic atmosphere we’ve established. We are a totally fresh concept, and we want people who will help shape and grow the brand as we continue to expand.”
As Daily Jam begins offering the opportunity to potential franchisees to grow the concept nationwide, the brand is seeking candidates with previous experience in restaurant operations. Potential candidates must also be eligible to obtain a liquor license and thrive in a fast-paced, energetic atmosphere. Franchisees will receive plenty of managerial and operational support and will be expected to understand and execute the operations and managerial processes of the business.
In order to be eligible to open a Daily Jam franchise, candidates must have at least $500,000 in liquid, investable capital (individual or partnership) and a net worth of $1 million (individual or partnership).
The preferred square footage of the area for a Daily Jam location is 2,800 to 3,800 square feet, with a suggested 200 square feet for a patio. The targeted market areas are hotels, business parks and offices, high-density residential areas, and entertainment and universities.
Demonstrating its commitment to the community, Daily Jam uses locally sourced ingredients and coffee to help grow the regional economy, reduce its carbon footprint and infuse its menu with local flavor.
Previously known as NCounter, the first Daily Jam location opened in 2011 in Tempe, Arizona. A fast-casual concept that’s energy and focus is on freshly served breakfast, brunch and lunch favorites, Daily Jam is the beloved neighborhood spot for breakfast items including a variety of omelets, waffles, pancakes and French toast, lunch items, hot and cold sandwiches, and soups and salads.
