Burger 21

This fast casual restaurant franchise operates in the 'better burger' segment, distinguishing itself through a wide variety of hand-crafted, fresh burger creations using both beef and non-beef alternatives. The menu is notably diverse, with approximately 44% non-beef items, appealing to a broad customer base at both lunch and dinner dayparts. The business model supports both single-unit and multi-unit franchise development through Area Development Agreements, with reduced franchise fees for larger commitments.

The franchise agreement carries an initial term of 10 years with a 5% royalty on monthly gross sales. Franchisees benefit from decades of combined franchise experience from the parent organization. The concept targets consumers seeking elevated quality and variety beyond standard fast food, positioning itself as an innovative alternative in the competitive burger market.
