WESTLAKE, Ohio, April 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The
award-winning family casual-dining franchise Quaker Steak &
Lube®, known for its award winning food, including Best
Wings USA and more than 20 sauces,
announced today that it is seeking franchisees at the annual
Restaurant Leadership Conference this month. The conference will be
held at the JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa
located in Phoenix from
April 9 – 12, 2017.
The brand has supercharged its franchise development efforts and
is seeking entrepreneurs interested in opening multiple restaurants
across the country. Plans for the popular restaurant chain include
aggressive growth nationwide.
"I am extremely thrilled to have the opportunity to meet with
prospective franchisees at the Restaurant Leadership Conference and
showcase the new Quaker Steak & Lube," said Zeb Hastings, Vice President of Franchise
Development at Quaker Steak & Lube. "With our newly expanded
operations and infrastructure, Quaker Steak & Lube offers
an invaluable support system which enables new and existing
franchisees to thrive within their own business. The conference
will allow us to further explore our future growth plans for the
brand and share all that Quaker Steak & Lube has to
offer."
In 2016, TA Restaurant Group, a division of Fortune 500 company
TravelCenters of America (NASDAQ: TA), acquired Quaker Steak &
Lube and has begun to reinvigorate the 43-year-old brand, propelled
by the addition of a new executive chef, Lance Matthews, and a new beverage program
manager, Shannon Salupo. Later this
month, Quaker Steak & Lube will introduce a new menu in all
locations nationwide. TA Restaurant Group is also evolving Quaker
Steak & Lube's restaurant design, while keeping the signature
ambiance of suspended racecars from the ceilings and gas station
memorabilia lining the walls. The brand will put a renewed focus on
providing more flexible, non-traditional buildouts for franchisees
to allow more aggressive growth in stadiums, colleges, kiosks, and
airports.
During the Restaurant Leadership Conference, an executive from
Quaker Steak & Lube will be available to discuss franchise
opportunities with interested prospective franchise owners.
Candidates should have multi-unit ownership experience, preferably
in the restaurant industry, at least $1
million in liquid assets and a minimum net worth of
$3 million. Quaker Steak & Lube
offers building designs to capitalize on the square footage, both
inside and outside of the building, which includes the Custom
Cruiser (freestanding) and Power Lube (freestanding or endcap), as
well as conversions and non-traditional buildouts in stadiums,
colleges, kiosks, and airports. Quaker Steak & Lube has an AUV
that's higher than most casual restaurants.
