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."⁠
