Back To News/PR Index | | McAlister’s Deli Aims to Attract New Franchisees in Upstate New York as Chain Expands | Award-winning fast casual restaurant continues expansion with plans for multiple new locations | “With our recent openings in the Buffalo and Rochester markets, Upstate New York represents an important part of McAlister’s growth strategy and we’re excited about the brand’s continued expansion into the region,” said Jeff Sturgis, McAlister’s Vice President of Franchise Development. “The McAlister’s Deli brand has become a top choice for some of the most successful multi-unit franchise owners in the country, so we’re excited to watch the brand grow in these areas due in large part to the talent of our franchisees.” As the company looks to open additional locations in the area, they are actively seeking qualified franchisees to develop in the areas in and around Syracuse, Albany, Binghamton and Utica. Currently, McAlister’s has two locations in the state of New York – one in Niagara Falls and one in Henrietta, both of which have opened in the last eight months. McAlister’s had a successful year of franchise growth in 2015 with $548 million in system-wide sales, the opening of 27 new restaurants – some in new markets, including Chicago, Rochester, and Orlando – and nearly 60 commitments for new restaurants. This growth is fueled by both existing franchisees as well as new partnerships with experienced multi-unit franchise owners with notable portfolios. McAlister’s currently operates more than 361 franchised locations in the U.S., across 28 states. The company has attracted a record number of franchise inquiries in recent years due to its quality leadership, healthy sales to investment ratio, and exceptional company performance.
