Steak ‘n Shake Franchise
Famous For The Original Steakburger & Hand-Dipped Milk Shakes!
Steak ‘n Shake has developed tremendous brand strength and an extremely loyal following since its founding in Normal, Illinois, 1934. Today, this 78 year-old classic American brand which pioneered the concept of premium steak burgers and hand-dipped milkshakes recently revitalized its franchising program and is seeking single and multi-unit operators to expand its network of nearly 500 QSR locations, in 22 states.
Building upon its current best-in-class string of 10 consecutive quarters of positive same store sales growth despite the Great Recession, Steak ‘n Shake offers potential franchisees a wide range of investment and best-in-class aesthetic design options, including Steak ‘n Shake Signature, a new smaller-footprint format, well-suited for shopping centers. Steak ‘n Shake Signature offers a low investment option and a more simplified operation.
