BigDavesCheesesteaks founder and CEO officialdhayes is cooking up what he hopes will be his most delicious offering yet: a chance to own a franchise.⁠ ⁠ "I think entrepreneurs are going to eat it up," Hayes says, "pun intended" with a big smile. "I already know that we have the No. 1 cheesesteak in the country!"⁠ ⁠ On Thursday, Hayes begins accepting official applications to purchase a Big Dave's Cheesesteaks franchise. The #WestPhiladelphia native is planning to take the iconic Philly sandwich national with a goal of opening 100 franchise locations by the end of 2025.⁠ ⁠ "I'm a visionary, I'm a dreamer." Hayes says. "Franchising is something that I thought about years ago, but I didn't have the experience or the team to do it."⁠ ⁠ Click link 🔗 in bio to check out CNBC's story on Hayes' dream.⁠ ⁠ #foodanddrink #business⁠
