The growing dumpling automat concept, Brooklyn Dumpling Shop, has signed two multi-unit franchise agreements to bring seven new units to New York, mainly in Staten Island and Queens. Jov and Jo Vanguard with The Execs Hospitality Group signed a deal with the brand to bring five units to Queens. The Staten Island franchisee, Imer Cami, signed a two-unit deal, marking a total of seven new units between the two franchise agreements.
“Our team is very proud and excited to bring multiple franchise locations of Brooklyn Dumpling Shop to Queens and share it with the largest New York City borough,” said Jov Vanguard.
“Serving dumplings reimagined offers a very unique and creative concept that we want the community to know about and enjoy. We are here to give our hand in expanding this business and taking it to new heights, one Queens location at a time.”
“The Brooklyn Dumpling Shop concept is exciting, and we think it will be a huge success in Staten Island,” said Imer Cami.
“We can’t wait to bring these one-of-a-kind dumplings to the folks in Staten Island and introduce them to the brand.”
The brand has continued to grow strongly in New York, and Brooklyn in particular where Brooklyn Dumpling Shop signed a six-unit deal. Since the opening of the flagship East Village unit, the brand has signed deals for 43 units throughout New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, and Florida.
“The teams from both development groups have been friends and customers for years at all of my restaurants, and I’m thrilled to welcome these hospitality veterans to the Brooklyn Dumpling Shop family of franchisees,” said Stratis Morfogen, owner of Brooklyn Dumpling Shop.
“Staten Island and Queens have booming food scenes, and we can’t wait to share our amazing dumplings with these communities.”
The brand has been working with Fransmart to grow the brand, a franchise development company behind the likes of Five Guys Burger & Fries.
“Both of these deals exemplify Brooklyn Dumpling Shop’s prominence in New York and across the country as it continues to dominate in top markets,” said Dan Rowe, CEO of Fransmart, Brooklyn Dumpling Shop’s franchise development partner.
“Interested franchisees should not wait to invest in this concept – its explosive growth in this past year alone is a testament to the uniqueness of the concept and how well it performs in any market.”
