Pepper Lunch, the original DIY Teppanyaki dining, has penned a significant deal to expand its flavorful frontier to Phoenix, Arizona, marking a momentous stride in our North American journey. This collaboration with B.I.D. Investment Group reflects Pepper Lunch’s ambitious roadmap, targeting an impressive 100 outlets across North America by 2026.
This venture is more than just a development agreement; it’s a testament to the robust and appealing franchise model of Pepper Lunch. With the first of the 10 locations set to open doors in late Q3, 2024, the Phoenix metropolitan area is soon to be embraced by the tantalizing aroma of sizzling steaks and the lively atmosphere of patrons ‘Sizzling It Their Way’.
B.I.D. Investment Group, with its vast experience across the restaurant value chain, emerges as the perfect partner in this endeavor. Their profound understanding of the fast-casual dining landscape aligns well with Pepper Lunch’s ethos of providing an unparalleled dining experience. This alliance doesn’t merely mark the advent of a unique dining experience in Phoenix but heralds a paradigm of ‘Experiential Fast Casual’ dining that’s poised to capture hearts across the United States.
The unique value proposition of Pepper Lunch lies in its novel teppanyaki-style concept, offering a delightful departure from the pricier yakiniku Japanese BBQ, without compromising on the authenticity or the exhilaration of a sizzling hot meal. The patented hot iron plate is not just a cooking apparatus, but a canvas for patrons to unleash their culinary creativity, under the comforting guidance of Pepper Lunch’s tried-and-tested menu offerings.
Jake Ireland, Managing Partner of B.I.D. Investment Group, encapsulates the essence of this partnership, “Pepper Lunch’s value proposition, combined with the concept’s uniqueness and menu flavor profiles, has clearly positioned it to become America’s next big restaurant brand.”
Pepper Lunch CEO, Troy Hooper’s enthusiasm resonates with the brand’s commitment to providing an authentic yet approachable dining experience. This domestic franchise expansion is not just a business venture, but a promise of a gastronomic adventure that’s as enjoyable as it is unique.
