The Award-Winning
casual-dining franchise Quaker Steak & Lube® known for its Best
Wings USA and more than 25 sauces, announced today plans to expand into the
Orlando, Fla. market and is looking for qualified franchisees. Earlier this
year, The Lube® launched the “I Want My Quaker Steak &
Lube®” social media campaign, where loyal Quaker Steak &
Lube® Facebook fans voted where Lube Nation would grow next. In
response to Orlando receiving an overwhelming number of votes during the
national eight-week promotion, The Lube® is now searching for
prospective candidates to join one of America’s fastest-growing restaurant
chains and bring Quaker Steak & Lube® to loyal fans in the
market.
“Orlando’s Lube Nation has responded with a
rallying cry to bring our unique motor-themed restaurant concept into the city,”
said John Longstreet, president and chief executive officer, Quaker Steak &
Lube®. “We are now looking for passionate franchisees to help make
this a reality – we are well on our way to doubling our footprint in the United
States and encourage interested developers to contact us to pursue this great
opportunity.”
The compelling décor, including race cars
suspended from the ceilings, motorcycles, Corvettes and gas station memorabilia,
combined with its craveable food and SuperCharged events, has created a
cult-like following for The Lube® for more than 39 years.
The company
experienced significant growth in 2012 with 11 restaurant openings, a 22 percent
increase from the previous year and a 13 percent increase in system wide
revenues. The company has more than 60 locations across 18 states and
Canada.
“Our food and bar
beverage programs, in-house events and retail sales offer franchisees multiple
revenue streams in their market,” added Longstreet. “That, combined with our
industry-high average unit volumes, unique trade dress and unmatched marketing
and operation support, make us a compelling investment as we look to expand Lube
Nation to Central Florida.”
