The authentic Cuban restaurant is now accepting franchise applications nationwide.
Tampa, FL (RestaurantNews.com) Box of Cubans, a deliciously authentic fast-casual restaurant specializing in gourmet sandwiches, hand-crafted empanadas, Cuban rice bowls, and specialty Cuban coffee, has just announced the launch of its franchise model. Working with Atlanta- based franchise development and sales firm Franchise Marketing Systems (FMS), the restaurant brand is seeking to bring new franchises across the U.S. in effort to expand its national footprint.
“We’re more than excited about our sales efforts with the team at FMS,” stated Marcos Silverio who co-founded the brand with his wife Onelia Silverio in Brandon, Florida. “We’re grateful and overwhelmed by the interest in our brand already and are confident that the momentum will grow as we kick off with our official franchise launch.”
Box of Cubans has grown as a local sensation since its 2017 inception. The brand first started within a BP gas station, expanding to its own storefront in 2022 in Riverview, Florida. The company has been featured on Fox News and has obtained multiple recognitions on Yelp, including landing on the “Top Places to Eat” list for Tampa Bay just last year.
“Our team is seeking to focus first on Florida and the Southeast at the outset of our expansion, moving out from there,” stated Silverio. “Of course, we are open to a motivated, experienced franchisee who wants to bring a Box of Cubans to an area outside of our initial point of focus with the right territory and market.”
Franchise partners can expect key vendor relationships, authentic recipes, and consistent support throughout the life of their franchise agreement. The support and training in place are focused on the success of each franchisee, said Silverio, noting the leadership team’s accessibility.
“The success and growth of our franchise partners is our focus. We want anyone considering our franchise to feel confident that they will not be alone in this venture — our team is truly dedicated to ensuring they have their questions answered and are equipped to troubleshoot whenever needed,” he said. “We are hitting the ground running and are looking forward to where we will be by the end of 2024.”
