After announcing plans to franchise last fall, Franklin Street restaurant BSki’s Tortilla Wrap Grill has received offers from people all across the country interested in bringing signature wraps to their towns.
Bradley Smith, the CEO and founder of BSki’s, said he always planned on franchising his restaurant — which is popular among students for its wraps and late-night food options.
“We developed the concept of BSki’s from the beginning with the intent of franchising down the line,” he said.
Smith said when they first developed the idea of franchising, they wanted to keep the new locations close.
“We’re looking at major college towns in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, West Virginia and Washington D.C.”
But Smith was surprised when he received offers from hopeful franchisees from across the country.
“We’ve gotten requests from as far as California, Colorado and Texas, but we really want to stay close to home,” Smith said.
He said the company hasn’t granted any franchises yet, but he hopes to find the right person soon.
“Basically we have our entire franchise package developed and put together. We’re ready and willing as soon as we find the right people,” he said.
