Breakfast Franchise Famous Toastery to Open New Locations in Virginia and Arizona

• The Famous Toastery has kickstarted 2025 with two new franchise agreements set to introduce four new restaurants in Arizona and Northern Virginia.
• The franchise's recent growth has been recognized on the 2025 Inc. Regionals List for the Mid-Atlantic, ranking at #104.

The Famous Toastery has announced plans for significant nationwide expansion in 2025. The brand has secured two new franchise agreements, which will result in opening four new restaurants in Arizona and Northern Virginia.

The new development agreements include a 3-unit deal in Arizona, marking the brand's furthest westward expansion. This follows two other franchise development deals in recent months, indicating a strong growth trajectory for the franchise.

In late 2024, a franchise agreement was signed with retired Army Officer Rachell Bonds to develop a location in San Antonio, Texas. The location is expected to open in early 2026, further solidifying the brand's transformation into a national franchise.

A franchise agreement was also signed in Northern Virginia, reinforcing the franchise's roots in its home region. The franchise is also experiencing organic growth from within, as demonstrated by the transition of the Cary location from corporate to franchise-owned operations.

These developments indicate a strong start to 2025 for the Famous Toastery. According to Mike Sebazco, President of Famous Toastery, these steps are crucial in the franchise's mission to bring their breakfast and brunch experience to more communities across the country.

The brand's growth was fuelled by a successful 2024, which saw the signing of agreements for seven new locations. As a result, the franchise's existing footprint is expected to expand by about 30%. This growth has earned the franchise a spot on the Inc. Regionals List, which ranks the fastest-growing privately held companies over a two-year period.

Famous Toastery is also rolling out a new look for its restaurants, featuring a brand refresh and digital overhaul. Additionally, the franchise continues to prioritize community commitment, with charitable initiatives such as fundraising for the Boone Chamber of Commerce Foundation and campaigning against food insecurity with Feeding the Carolinas.
