See how AFI helped Joe’s refine their model, build a franchise foundation, and prepare for growth across new markets.
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.
AFI crafted a clear, compliant FDD that detailed Joe’s operations, menu systems, and ownership structure for prospective franchisees.
We mapped out a regional development plan focused on high-traffic suburban areas, using local brand equity to drive expansion.
AFI developed a streamlined onboarding program to teach new franchisees Joe’s service style, food prep systems, and customer experience standards.
We refined Joe’s messaging to highlight its “local deli feel meets fast-casual convenience,” helping it stand out in a competitive breakfast and lunch space.
With a full franchise system in place, Joe’s Bagel & Grill is now ready to bring its popular concept to new markets. Backed by AFI’s development expertise, the brand is scaling strategically — preserving its community-driven charm while expanding with confidence.
Working with Accurate Franchising gave us clarity and direction. We knew we had something special — now we have the tools to grow it.
