Diversified Restaurant Holdings, Inc., the owner/operator and franchisor of the unique, full-service, ultra-casual restaurant and bar, Bagger Dave’s Legendary Burgers & Fries(R),
today announced that its registration to offer and sell Bagger Dave’s franchises in the State of Illinois has been approved. Illinois is the fourth state in which DRH has the ability to offer franchising of its Bagger Dave’s concept.
Michael Ansley, President and Chief Executive Officer of DRH, commented, “Building upon our already established agreements in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana, the ability to franchise in Illinois is the next logical step in our growth strategy. It is contiguous to and shares the same Midwestern culture as our existing franchising area. It is also the fifth most populous state in the U.S., with Chicago being the nation’s third largest metropolitan area. There are also several other Illinois cities whose demographics provide viable franchising locations.” Read more.
