About 25 years ago, Deborah and Charles Takacs were looking for a way to exit tobacco farming. The solution presented itself in the form of a franchise in a new fast food offering, New York Fries.
“We liked the brand. It’s a simple concept and it was easy to operate,†Ms. Takacs says. “We knew that a good fry is sellable.â€
