Craveworthy Brands will be exhibiting at the industry-leading franchise event, International Franchise Expo (“IFE,”) from Thursday, May 29 to Saturday, May 31, 2025 in New York City at the Javits Center (429 11th Avenue Hall 1C).
The Craveworthy team will be connecting with hungry first-time entrepreneurs and experienced operators at IFE who are craving the American Dream or looking to diversify their business portfolio through franchising in the rapidly growing quick-service and fast casual spaces. Attendees will be able to learn more about what the Company offers, including its efficient restaurant operations, creative marketing strategies, tech-stack integrations, co-branding and virtual brand opportunities, among other support.
“Craveworthy is a champion for small business entrepreneurship and exceptional dining experiences. “Our franchise models are built to thrive in today’s restaurant landscape, combining culinary innovation with a proven operational playbook for success,” said SVP of Franchise Operations at Craveworthy Brands, Samuel Stanovich.
The IFE is the premier franchise show with a powerful international impact. Entrepreneurs and prospective business owners from across the U.S. and 64 countries travel to the IFE to meet face-to-face with over 200-plus exhibiting franchise brands and industry experts. IFE shares resources they need to succeed in franchise ownership under one roof.
The Craveworthy team will be representing four of its dynamic franchise brands at the show: basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal’s Big Chicken, Food Network champ-founded Taim Mediterranean Kitchen, one of the first-ever North Indian barbecue franchises Sigri Indian BBQ and three-time award-winning wing concept Wing It On!
Stanovich added, “At IFE, we’re excited to share how franchise partners can build businesses that drive economic growth, create community impact and redefine the guest experience for generations to come.”
