Wow, what a year it’s been so far! Not only have we been busy with client work, but Fishies have been flying all over the country for conferences and franchisee conventions, as well as new client immersions. We welcomed five — yes, five! — new brands to our roster in the first quarter of 2022 and have hit the ground running.
Check out our newest partners below, and stay tuned to our Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn for all the great PR to come!
Self Esteem Brands
Over the years, we’ve been on the sidelines watching Chuck Runyon and Dave Mortensen grow this family of brands, and now we get to be an integral part of the journey. (Thank you!) But aside from our excitement to work with a brand operating in 39 countries and on all seven continents, we’re also big supporters of the company’s devotion to improving self-esteem. So this partnership is a great match!
California Pizza Kitchen
CPK just launched its franchise program in the U.S. in December 2021, so to say we were psyched to get the call wanting us to spread the word for this global brand is an understatement. Despite being in Florida, we’re secretly big fans of the California vibe, so naturally love everything about CPK. (And I, as Fish’s resident gluten-free eater, adore how many *chef’s kiss* delicious options I have when I eat there!)
Smoothie King
We were fans of Smoothie King before signing them as a client, but now the brand is helping us Rule the Day®, every day. (Seriously, the Coffee High Protein Almond Mocha smoothie is exactly the type of fuel I need to work and play.) Smoothie King has already signed over 50 new store commitments this year, so we’re pumped to have the opportunity to tell the brand’s story.
Cousins Maine Lobster
We love Shark Tank, and now we get to work with one of the show’s success stories! Founders Jim Tselikis and Sabin Lomac got an investment from Barbara Corcoran after their appearance in season 4 — and the rest is history. Cousins has aggressive franchise growth plans for its food trucks and restaurants, and we’re excited to be part of the ride.
Pizza Ranch
Eatertainment and buffets are back! Pizza Ranch has already had a strong first quarter with new development agreements and openings, and we’re looking forward to helping this Midwest chain grow even more. Selfishly, we’re hoping Pizza Ranch will expand to South Florida, so we can host a teambuilding event at a FunZone Arcade. Fingers crossed.
