CHARLOTTE, N.C., Nov. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Famous Toastery, the nationally-renowned better breakfast franchise known for its Famously Fresh and simple-scratch menu, is excited to announce growth on a national level with a signed franchise development deal in San Antonio, Texas. Local franchise owner Rachell Bonds, a retired Army Officer with over 27 years of dedicated service, plans to open the brand’s first location west of the Mississippi by the end of 2025.

“We’re thrilled to bring Famous Toastery to Texas, marking a significant step in our journey to share our Famously Fresh brand nationwide,” said Mike Sebazco, President of Famous Toastery. “We look forward to bringing our one-of-a-kind hospitality, unique menu, and family-friendly atmosphere to Texas.”

A Lifelong Passion for Food

Bond’s love of food stems back to her time growing up in Louisiana. Now, after nearly three decades of service to the country along with raising two children on a solid foundation of leadership and a deep appreciation for the importance of family, Bonds looks forward to her franchising venture with Famous Toastery, a brand that seamlessly aligns with her lifelong interests and values.

“My childhood passion for food and cooking only grew stronger over the years, along with a desire to develop a welcoming space where families can come together over shared meals,” Bonds said. “I am extremely excited to be part of the Famous Toastery family, where I can create a warm, comfortable dining experience with high-quality, simple scratch meals with Famously Fresh ingredients.”

This expansion follows Famous Toastery earning recognition on the coveted 2024 Franchise Times Top 400 list; the latest in an array of awards for the brand. Famous Toastery is now preparing to debut a brand refresh featuring a vibrant logo to match its new orange and teal color pallet coming to its restaurants. The refresh will also include updated food and cocktail menus as well as an upgraded digital customer experience.

A New Chapter in National Growth
Famous Toastery’s evolution into a national name began when the brand first began franchising in 2013. Since then, Famous Toastery has developed a large fanbase across the Southeast region of the U.S., with over 25 locations between North and South Carolina and Virginia.

The brand’s breakfast, brunch, and lunch menu – featuring iconic dishes like Famous Flapjacks, the Blah Blah Blah Omelet, and the Famous Toastery Bowl – have garnered the attention of loyal customers, including NASCAR driver Michael McDowell. The 2021 Daytona 500 winner is frequently spotted at his local Famous Toastery restaurant with his family ahead of race days. That devoted fandom ultimately led to the brand’s first taste of the national spotlight as the title sponsor for the NCAA’s 2023 Famous Toastery Bowl football game.

“We strive to prioritize our guests in everything we do, and it’s their loyalty that’s fueled our steady growth toward becoming a national brand,” said Lorna Martinez, Vice President of Marketing. “From being the go-to brunch spot for families, to seizing the opportunity to step onto the national stage, every milestone is about sharing our warm environment and famously fresh flavors with more communities.”
