Burger 21, a New “Better Burger” Franchise from the Owners of The Melting Pot Restaurants, Looking to Grow

Last updated on May 8, 2012 by Franchise Chatter Leave a Comment
in Franchise Article, Franchise News, Hamburger Franchise

Burger 21, a new fast casual restaurant franchise founded by the owners of The Melting Pot Restaurants, is a chef-inspired “better burger” concept with offerings that include 21 unique burger creations ranging from hand-crafted, freshly ground beef to chicken, turkey, shrimp and tuna burgers, made-to-order salads, Hebrew National hot dogs and an extensive shake bar including hand-dipped floats, malts, shakes and sundaes.

Mark Johnston, together with his wife Arlene Johnston, and his brothers, Bob and Mike Johnston, founded Burger 21 in November 2009.  The first corporate-owned Burger 21 restaurant opened in Tampa, Fla., in November 2010, and the second opened just last month.  Leveraging more than 25 years of franchising experience, the Johnston family recognized an opportunity to introduce a higher quality product in a rapidly growing foodservice category.

The sales at Burger 21’s first location in Tampa are exceeding the company’s expectations, proving that this is a unique concept well-positioned to grow across the country. To fuel Burger 21’s growth, the company is seeking single and multi-unit operators with restaurant experience. Franchisee candidates should have a minimum net worth of $500,000 and liquid assets of at least $200,000 per unit.

🤷‍♀️Why Work with a Franchise Broker?

A good franchise broker can help you to find the right franchise. They provide:

✅ Recommendations based on their assessment of historical financial performance (Item 19, FDD) instead of just franchise marketing materials.

✅ Franchise matches based on your goals, strengths, and passions.

✅ Demographic analysis to find franchises that could work in your area.

✅ A portfolio of franchises to meet almost any budget, interest, or goals.

✅ Referrals to other specialists, like franchise lawyers.

✅ Information on financing sources.

✅ Coaching in the due diligence process, based on experience with dozens of candidates.

✅ Help presenting yourself in the best light, to increase your chances of success.

✅ No fees for their services: franchisors pay them a success fee if an agreement is signed.

To get started, fill out this form, and a specialist from the Franchise Brokers Association will reach out to you.
