"There are many companies out there that claim to sell franchises. We were looking for more than a "sales company." We found a marketing partner with FRANSMART. The team at FRANSMART has treated my brand as their own from the first day of our partnership. I can say without hesitation that FRANSMART is a cornerstone of our new store growth strategy."
-- David Rutkauskas, Founder and CEO, Camille's Sidewalk Cafe
"We did it all through our business. We never borrowed a penny. We just grew our company. We cash-flowed it. We started selling franchises. And I use the franchise fees to build the staff, build the company. We were so successful that our royalty streams started exceeding our expenses. So all of our franchise fees were like capital. I mean you’re talking millions of dollars in franchise fees for Camille’s alone."
-- David Rutkauskas, Founder and CEO, Camille's Sidewalk Café in Chain Leader Magazine September 2007 article How to Grow to 100 Units: Capital Ideas"I can’t begin to tell you how happy we are with the Fransmart team. Fransmart has guided us every step of the way in preparation to become a world class franchise organization. The impact the team has had on our existing businesses is nothing short of phenomenal, Houston Striggow and Kelly Mullarney have led the way to driving 50% sales growth year over year in our Newport Beach location and continue to make a similar impact within our San Diego locations! These “Young Guns” know how to take an opportunity and turn it into an overwhelming success! With these guys we just continue to Rock On and on and on!"
-- Rick DiRienzo “Baja Rick”, President, Rockin’ Baja Lobster Restaurants
"Fransmart has proven to be the company I thought it would be, and I’m thankful for that."
-- George Raios, Founder and CEO, Mr. Greek Restaurants Inc.
"In today's economic environment, there is no way a small company can provide the level of support and service to its franchisees the way Fransmart will allow us to. The outsourcing of franchise development, opening and management systems are the key reasons we decided to go with Fransmart."
-- Tom Cangemi, CEO/President, The Italian Pie Corporation
"I have worked with many franchise sales organizations, but Fransmart is truly the most professional and best run company of its kind out there. They are the most diligent and follow-up better than any other sales group. Their leadership is second to none in the industry."
-- Harold Kestenbaum, Counsel, Farrell Fritz
"Since teaming up with Fransmart, our restaurant sales volumes have been the highest they have ever been. Additionally, the amount of franchises they have put into development in only the first few months of our engagement has far exceeded our expectations. We cannot wait for the next few years."
-- Jerry Murrell, Founder and President, Five Guys Burgers & Fries
"Partnering with Fransmart is the smartest way to grow our company. Their ability to sell our concept, as well as assist in providing critical support for our franchisees, benefits everyone."
-- Stuart Davis, Founder and CEO, City Wok
"Imagine a group of professionals with decades of experience in growing and managing successful franchise systems. Then imagine an easy-to-use technology platform that incorporates their knowledge. It would be a tool for the franchise, as well as for corporate operations, sales, accounting, and HR staff. That's the Fransmart story, and what they're going will change the rules of franchise development."
-- Scott Shaw, President of FishBowl.com
"Fransmart has done a beautiful job of building, promoting and protecting our brand. Our only disappointment is that we did not get involved with their company sooner."
-- Wayne P. Bunch, Jr., President Crescent City Beignets, Inc.
