Now the company has signed a new agreement to open 25 Famous Dave’s ghost kitchens and dual restaurant concepts with Johnny Carino's over the next two years. "Our first motivator to invest in Famous Dave's ghost kitchens was its award-winning food and its ability to travel well and taste great when delivered to our customers," said Allan Gantes of Bluestone Hospitality Group. "Couple that with the Famous Dave's leadership team who understands the importance of evolving in light of changing consumer preferences, and we saw a formula for success to enhance our existing restaurant footprint. It's a period of unprecedented change in the industry, and demand for off-premises sales has dramatically increased." Famous Dave's has 125 locations in 31 states and three countries. - Get Started in Franchising - Franchise Rankings & Awards - Franchise Sales & Development - Featured Franchise Stories Franchising.com is produced by Franchise Update Media.
