The community focused concept is seeking like minded entrepreneurs with its new franchising program to help serve up its classic Italian American comfort food. Its become a local favorite at both locations with it’s simple crowd-pleasing menu of customizable pastas, meatballs, garlic bread and more.
“We built this business with the same love and energy we’ve shared as lifelong friends,” said Joey Palomarez, President. “Franchising was the natural next step. We want to empower owner-operators who share our values to bring affordable, community-focused dining to their neighborhoods.”
