ATLANTA, July 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The digital-first
restaurant innovators at Franklin Junction are expanding
availability to consumers nationwide by announcing a new agreement
with Grubhub, one of the nation's leading online and mobile
food-ordering and delivery services.
The partnership will center on Franklin Junction's fast-growing
list of host kitchens and popular food concepts, with Grubhub
agreeing to fund Q3 marketing support for two Franklin Junction
brands, The Captain's Boil and Order XOXO. The Captain's Boil has
achieved early success on the platform, with more than 250 stores
currently in operation and hundreds more expected to launch by the
end of the year. Dedicated to connecting diners with the food they
love from their favorite restaurants, Grubhub strives to elevate
food ordering through innovative restaurant technology, easy-to-use
platforms and an improved delivery experience.
Global franchise and restaurant expert Aziz Hashim first launched Franklin Junction in
April 2020, introducing an innovative
concept in response to restaurants that were struggling to monetize
excess kitchen and storage capacity amid closures and other
limitations.
"The Franklin Junction platform was designed to match excess
kitchen capacity with concepts eager to grow their consumer reach"
said Hashim. "In doing so, our team intends to help as many
retail locations and brands thrive in this uncertain restaurant
reality. We know that today's restaurant consumers appreciate
the ease and efficiency of restaurant delivery and have created a
platform that enables thousands of restaurants to meet this
demand
In April 2020, the Franklin
Junction announced a partnership with Nathan's Famous, Inc.
(NYSE:NATH) to provide fans with ready-to-cook kits and hot-cooked
versions of the New York favorites
via Franklin Junction's host kitchens across the country. Franklin
Junction has now begun rolling out Nathan's Famous concept via host
kitchens within Frisch's Big Boy and Ruby Tuesdays restaurants
across the United States.
The Franklin Junction platform continues rapidly expanding
currently partnering with more than more than a dozen leading
brands from across U.S. and international markets. Its partner
concepts will be deployed across a network of approximately 550
host kitchens, with another 1,000 facilities expected to join the
platform by the end of 2020.
