"We have passion and loyalty for both brands and look forward to opening our restaurants in the years ahead."

The company has also recently placed a $3 million commitment to national charities Starlight Children’s Foundation and Feeding America, which will focus on supporting programs which align with the charities mission to provide simple steps to ensure joy and address the challenges children face. The company will also support the construction of new sites in select children’s hospitals, giving back to the community where possible and making a real difference throughout their business ventures.
