Scale a Regional Portfolio With Multi-Unit Development

National franchise overview

Experienced hospitality groups and growth-minded entrepreneurs look for concepts that can penetrate an entire metropolitan market without cannibalizing their own footprint. Because Nash & Smashed combines five revenue lines — Nashville-style sandwiches, fried chicken, smashed burgers, mocktails and cakes — across three distinct store formats, multi-unit developers can match each submarket with the exact right box.

A regional development plan can anchor suburban shopping centers with 1,600+ sq ft Full Restaurants, infill downtown and university corridors with streamlined Express Units, and deploy a Food Truck to seed brand awareness at office parks and community events ahead of each brick-and-mortar grand opening.

Corporate support is structured for portfolio scale from day one. Alongside 40 hours of foundational training (6 classroom + 34 on the job) and 7 pre-opening commitments — including site selection, contractor negotiations and hiring and retention — our 5 post-opening commitments explicitly cover profitability coaching, business development, advertising, operations and multi-unit expansion.
