Franchise Interview with Schlotzsky's
This week, Franchise Interviews is meeting with Schlotzsky's to explore their franchise opportunity. Approaching its 45th anniversary, Schlotzsky's, known for its signature round toasted sandwich, The Original®, has embarked on a significant transformation. The brand's new image is attracting a fresh wave of customers and reigniting franchise growth nationwide. The brand overhaul, aptly named "All ‘Round ‘Lotz Better," includes a revamped restaurant design featuring lively colors, playful slogans, modern furniture and artwork, and a partnership with Cinnabon, offering franchisees the opportunity to operate two brands in one location. Schlotzsky's has also introduced a new service model where staff personally deliver food to tables. Our discussion with Schlotzsky's President Kelly Roddy will delve into the rebranding process and the chain's recent partnership with Cinnabon.
