Plant & Co Brands (CSE: VEGN) is looking to aggressively expand its reach and distribution across North America. The company this morning announced that it will begin franchising its YamChops vegan butcher stores.
In launching its franchising division for the YamChops brand, the company is looking to become one of the largest plant-based franchises in North America. Retail locations will provide consumers with over 20 plant-based meats, including chicken, pork, and fish among other vegan food products.
As part of the YamChops acquisition completed last month, the company acquired a franchise program that offers turnkey franchises for the brand. Including within the franchise package is architectural and construction renderings for the retail stores, systems manuals and training programs, proprietary food products and recipes, and the firms strategic retail sales strategy.
“We strongly believe a YamChops franchise system that is operated by an experienced entrepreneur or restaurant operator is poised for growth and market leadership due to our first-mover advantage in the emerging plant-based protein or vegan butcher markets. We have engaged top legal counsel and brought in top consultants with franchise expertise to support our effort of becoming one of the largest plant-based franchises in North America.”
Shawn Moniz, CEO of Plant & Co
The firm is reportedly in discussions with several interested parties looking to open the first such franchises.
