How Joe’s Bagel & Grill Went from Local Favorite to Scalable Franchise Concept
See how AFI helped Joe’s refine their model, build a franchise foundation, and prepare for growth across new markets.
A Community Staple with National Potential
Joe’s Bagel & Grill was already beloved in its home market — serving up fresh, high-quality bagels, breakfast, and grill items in a fast-casual setting. With loyal customers and proven unit economics, Joe’s was ready to grow. To make that leap, they partnered with AFI to develop a franchise system built to maintain their reputation and support expansion.
