Farm Stores Seeks Franchisees to Develop Unique Dive-Thru Grocery Concept in Houston, Texas

Backed by its one of a kind drive-thru concept, Farm Stores is expanding into new communities across the country at record rates.

The combination grocery store, fresh bakery and quick service restaurant has long been a fan favorite in its home state of Florida. And now, two of the brand’s loyal customers have teamed up to bring its unique business model to the Lone Star State with the help of driven and dedicated franchisees.

“I grew up with Farm Stores, and was a loyal customer the entire time I was living in South Florida. When I relocated to Houston, I realized that the concept is a perfect fit here,” said Robert Betts, Farm Stores’ area representative in Houston. “It’s the perfect integration of nostalgia and modern technology—Farm Stores brings quality service and convenience together in a way that no other brand has been able to duplicate.”

It’s that commitment to innovation that makes Farm Stores stand out to both business owners and consumers in an increasingly crowded marketplace. By bringing the best groceries, freshly baked bread and made-to-order drinks straight to its customers’ car doors, the brand simplifies how consumers run errands. There’s a real demand for that level of convenience, especially among millennials and busy families.

Farm Stores is actively seeking entrepreneurs in the Houston area to capitalize on that heightened demand and be a part of the brand’s ever-growing franchise system. It provides franchisees with a unique opportunity that’s already primed for success—the brand will easily translate from Florida into Texas. Both areas are similar in that they’re commuter-driven environments where people rely on their cars to get from place to place, and both markets are drawn to brands like Farm Stores that make it a point to become an integral part of the local community.

“We couldn’t be more excited about introducing Houston to the Farm Stores brand. Our concept comes with a competitive advantage that’s hard to beat, which is why we’re confident our franchisees in the area will experience success right off the bat,” said Carlos Bared, Farm Stores’ CEO.

Houston’s first Farm Stores location is expected to open its doors for business before the end of the year. After that, the brand plans to saturate the market—Houston’s population and business economy can house around 100 stores.

“There’s no doubt that as soon as Farm Stores opens up its doors for business in Houston that it’ll take off. The concept is completely unique, and provides entrepreneurs the opportunity to break into a booming industry in a market with unlimited growth potential,” said Betts. “My business partner Linda and I are both looking forward to working with local owners who share our passion for the Farm Stores brand.

By using our proven system, they’ll be able to get in on the ground level of an emerging franchise concept that’s set for rapid growth not just in Houston, but across the entire country.”
