Our franchise model accommodates multiple investment scenarios:

Multi-Unit Investor Opportunities
Huddle House franchise owners run the gamut from hometown entrepreneurs to multi-unit franchise investors. The common story among them is past business success, a history of leadership, and passion for serving their communities.
Many franchise concepts require a commitment to open multiple locations. We are happy to embrace both single and multi-unit franchise owners.
Our Franchisee's Success Stories
A Favorite Small-Town Franchise
Robert Wiggins Jr. opened a new Huddle House location in 2015, but the concept wasn’t exactly new to him. Some 25 years prior, Wiggins and his father had built the first Huddle House in Hazlehurst, Georgia, only to sell the location after several years. Wiggins subsequently invested in various food franchises, but when he heard that Hazlehurst was once again without a Huddle House after the original location closed, he jumped at the chance to reinstate the community hub.
The experienced foodservice franchise investor, who owns franchises with Pizza Inn, Dick’s Wings, Checkers, and Arby’s, is so pleased with the direction of our brand and the community reception to the new Hazlehurst location that he quickly expanded to two additional locations. Huddle House does big things for little towns, thriving in places that other restaurant chains reject as too small.
Eleven Units in Three Years
Moiez “Mike” Lokhandwala joined the restaurant business when he first moved to the U.S. from Bangalore, India, in 2002, taking a job as a cook at a Popeye’s Chicken and Biscuits franchise. He worked his way up to management at a Church’s Chicken franchise, then ultimately joined the ranks of franchise ownership by building eight Church’s franchises in the Atlanta, Georgia, market and Wing Stop franchises in Florida. When looking for ways to diversify his franchise business portfolio into smaller markets with less competition, he found Huddle House.
After acquiring his first Huddle House location in Valdosta, Georgia, Lokhandwala was impressed with the supportive leadership from the Huddle House team, and more importantly, with our ability through the in-house supply chain to drive the lowest food costs out of all his brands. Only three years later, Lokhandwala has eleven Huddle House restaurants across South Georgia and Florida, with commitments to open more.
