The brand’s growth strategy centers on partnerships with seasoned restaurant operators. In Atlanta, franchisees Khadejah Davis and Jamel Douglas have taken over the flagship location and signed on to lead the company’s upcoming Florida debut in Miami. This expansion extends to the Midwest and the East Coast, with new agreements finalized for Detroit, Columbus, Cleveland, and Washington, D.C.
Industry recognition has accompanied this operational shift. Cole Hayes, who recently joined the cast of Bravo’s 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' for its 17th season, was named one of the 2026 Fast Casual Top 100 Movers & Shakers. She also received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Black Chamber of Arizona. Reflecting on the brand's trajectory, Cole Hayes noted that while the company faced skepticism a year ago, the current momentum proves the viability of her restructured leadership and franchise model.
