Why Multi-Unit Operators Choose Charleys
Multi-unit franchising represents a strategic approach to business growth, allowing entrepreneurs to leverage economies of scale while building a diversified portfolio. Charleys Cheesesteaks & Wings is positioned as an ideal partner for multi-unit operators by offering a business model that’s designed for expansion.
Consistently recognized in Entrepreneur’s prestigious Top Multi-Unit Franchise rankings, Charleys continues to prove our value proposition to investors seeking multiple unit opportunities. This recognition isn’t just about prestige—it’s a testament to our operational excellence and ability to support franchisees with multiple locations.
“When our current franchisees decide to invest in more locations, it speaks volumes about the health of our business model,” says Ken Kanzaki, Director of Franchise Development with Charleys. “They have firsthand experience with our operations, our support systems, and most importantly, our profitability. Their decision to double down on Charleys is the strongest endorsement we could ask for.”
Supported, Scalable Business Model

Whether you’re operating a single location with aspirations to expand or already managing multiple units across various markets, Charleys tailors our assistance to address your specific needs and challenges. Our tiered support approach encompasses everything from day-to-day operational guidance to sophisticated market analysis tools, ensuring franchisees have access to the right resources at the right time. This personalized support strategy recognizes that each franchisee faces unique circumstances, allowing the Charleys team to provide targeted solutions rather than one-size-fits-all assistance.
The true strength of Charleys’ support system lies in our scalability and forward-thinking approach. As franchisees expand their portfolios, Charleys seamlessly transitions them to more advanced resources designed specifically for multi-unit management, including proprietary analytics platforms, dedicated multi-unit development managers, and specialized training for area supervisors. This evolutionary support model anticipates the changing needs of growing operations, helping franchisees navigate the complexities that come with each additional unit. By investing in franchisee growth at every stage, Charleys creates a pathway for sustainable expansion that aligns with each operator’s individual goals and timeline, whether that means opening their second location or their twentieth.
Flexible Development Options for Various Growth Strategies
Recognizing that multi-unit operators have different growth objectives, Charleys offers flexible development options that can be tailored to each franchisee’s investment capacity, market knowledge, and expansion timeline.
Traditional Single-Unit Agreements
Traditional single-unit agreements provide a methodical approach to expansion, allowing franchisees to establish a solid foundation before committing to additional locations. This option is ideal for operators who prefer to master the Charleys system with one unit before scaling their portfolio. Many of Charleys’ top performing multi-unit operators began this way, using their initial experience to build confidence and capital for additional locations, while benefiting from focused training and support.
Multi-Unit Agreements
Depending on availability and a franchisee’s growth goals, charleys offers a reduced initial franchise fee as franchisees lock in additional units. Initial franchise fee for location #1 is $24,500. All locations after that are at $15,000 per location.
Conversion Programs
Conversion programs transform existing restaurant spaces into Charleys locations, substantially reducing development costs and construction timeframes. Charleys has developed specific design packages that efficiently convert various restaurant footprints, from mall food courts to freestanding buildings with drive-thrus. For multi-unit operators with market knowledge and landlord relationships, conversion opportunities facilitate rapid expansion while minimizing capital requirements and accelerating return on investment.
