Why Owning a Tom & Chee Franchise is a Best-bet Investment

The thriving melt franchise has incredible brand recognition and offers a simple business model that’s easy to scale

With 2020 just around the corner, it’s the perfect time for entrepreneurs to seek out a business opportunity that offers the ability to help them realize their full potential. Entrepreneurs would be wise to consider owning a melt franchise in the sandwich industry, which has earned $25 billion in 2019 thus far, according to IBISWorld. The industry has been able to thrive over the past five years and is expected to grow at nearly 4% annually, notes the market research report.

For starters, 79 percent of Americans say their favorite sandwich is grilled cheese, according to YouGov, and a great grilled cheese is hard to find! At Tom & Chee, that’s our bread and butter. With our creative takes on grilled cheese sandwiches, home made tomato soups and hand tossed salads, we have garnered incredible brand recognition by providing a highly differentiated product offering.

“Our food was founded on the idea of connecting with people and creating memories,” says Jenny Rachford, Co-Founder and Franchise Development Coordinator with Tom & Chee. “Everything begins with the food: the handcrafted melts, homemade soups and salads. The food industry is crowded and competitive — you have to have amazing food to succeed. What really leads to the success at Tom & Chee is the guest experience, from every smiling face that they see, to the cheerful environment that surrounds them, and of course, the food. That’s what inspires our guests to not just come back, but to come back with their friends and family.”Swiss Shroom Sandwich Combo with soup
