Meet Aaron Anderson: a seasoned veteran in the restaurant industry with over eight years of experience in franchise operations, sales, and development. With an impressive resume that includes owning five popular franchises featured on Bravo's "Real Housewives of Atlanta," as well as acquiring two Rita's Italian Ice locations and three Chef Rube Kitchen restaurants, it's safe to say that Anderson knows a thing or two about running a successful restaurant business.
One of Anderson's most notable achievements is his role as the franchisor of Brunchaholics, a beloved brunch spot in Metro Philly known for its unique twists on classic dishes. With three locations currently open and three more coming soon to Miami, Atlanta, and Blue Bell, PA, Anderson's emerging franchise concept is quickly gaining popularity. In fact, Brunchaholics has even been named one of the top 15 essential brunch spots in Philly by Eater Philly. To help aspiring franchisees, Anderson offers financing options through partnerships with financial institutions.
In a recent interview with BLACK ENTERPRISE, Anderson revealed his motivation for getting into the franchising business: "After selling a previous business that I built from the ground up, I was looking for an essential business with a steady cash flow and a structured system. I didn't want to start from scratch again, so I began researching restaurant franchises and decided to take that route. And I haven't looked back since."
As a seasoned entrepreneur, Anderson understands the challenges of building a brand from scratch and the benefits of investing in a proven business model. He explained, "Investing in a company with an established brand allows for exponential growth. You're not starting from square one; you're working with a company that is already recognized by the public and has systems in place to help you succeed, including marketing and software."
Recently, Anderson was appointed as Co-CEO of The Market Place, a family-owned and operated restaurant in North Carolina known for its gourmet sandwiches, tasty smoothies, and iced tea spiced with cloves. This new venture further solidifies Anderson's expertise and reputation in the industry.
For restaurant owners considering franchising their concept, Anderson has some valuable advice: "When it comes to franchising, it's important to consider factors such as brand strength, operational systems, legal considerations, market research, and adaptability. And it's crucial to choose an industry that's thriving, like breakfast and brunch concepts which have seen a 40% increase in consumer demand since 2022, according to the U.S. Restaurant and Brunch Trends Market Report 2023."
As a Certified Franchise Consultant, Anderson understands the importance of setting realistic expectations for clients when it comes to investment costs, revenues, and overhead expenses. He stresses the need for thorough due diligence, financial projections, and support and training before making a franchise purchase. Anderson also encourages potential franchisees to seek legal and financial advice and consider the impact on their lifestyle, community, and diversity initiatives.
In conclusion, Aaron Anderson's impressive track record in the restaurant industry serves as a testament to his expertise and success as a franchise owner and consultant. With his guidance, many aspiring entrepreneurs have achieved their dream of owning a thriving restaurant business.
