The QSR deli franchisor is looking to sign up more international franchisees.
Kisses From Italy, an international deli franchisor with stores in North America and Europe, has partnered with Fransmart to propel its franchise growth.
The announcement follows the initial launch of Kisses From Italy’s franchise growth strategy in 2020, which identified Georgia, Alabama, Texas, Tennessee, Nevada, North Carolina, South Carolina, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts as key markets for expansion, in addition to existing locations in southern Florida, Italy, and soon, California.
“We are thrilled to begin working with Fransmart and its team of experts,” said Kisses From Italy co-founder, co-CEO and CIO, Claudio Ferri. “In signing the agreement, we believe we have been given an opportunity to further develop practical franchise expansion plans, solidify best practices for structuring our franchise opportunity, and ultimately grow Kisses From Italy. This is an incredibly exciting time for us and we look forward to finding the right entrepreneurs who are eager to be a part of it.”
As well as its four corporate-owned stores in the U.S., Kisses From Italy opened its inaugural international location in Ceglie del Campo, Bari, Italy in October 2019.
Fransmart is of course no stranger to international growth, and has worked with brands such as Five Guys Burgers & Fries and QDOBA Mexican Eats to identify the perfect growth partners for a concept. Over the past two decades, the organization has sold over 5,000 franchises worldwide.
Kisses From Italy is currently looking for qualified single-unit and multi-unit owners with a passion for food and family.
