Uncle Maddio’s Signs Largest Multi-Unit Deal To Date JUMP Restaurant Management, Subsidiary of Jubilee Restaurant Group, to Open 13 Units in Tennessee, Mississippi, LA
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) April 20, 2015 -- Fast-casual pizza pioneer Uncle Maddio’s Pizza Joint announced today the signing of its largest franchise deal to date. JUMP Restaurant Management, a subsidiary of Jubilee Restaurant Group, will develop 13 Uncle Maddio’s across the Mid-South. Communities in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Lafayette, La.; Greater Memphis, Tenn. and Southaven and Olive Branch, Miss. will soon be able to enjoy Uncle Maddio’s premium, customized pizza experience.
“I researched the fast-casual pizza segment for two-and-a-half years before choosing Uncle Maddio’s,” said Seth Hargett, founder and president of Jubilee Restaurant Group. “I liked that the leadership team is made up of former operators who understand what it takes to run a successful restaurant. And as a former chef, I was blown away by the flavor, freshness and variety of the menu. There’s nothing like it on the market.”
Hargett himself is a veteran restaurateur. Prior to moving into development and operations with Jubilee, he honed his culinary skills cooking in the kitchens of the Brennan family, Emeril Lagasse and Gerard Maras before moving on to the head chef role at Grand Hotel Marriott Resort, Golf Club & Spa in Pt. Clear, AL, an AAA 4 diamond resort.
Jubilee Restaurant Group operates 10 Five Guys Hamburgers and Fries with development rights to 14 more in five states. Investors in the JUMP/Uncle Maddio’s deal also include a former Five Guys Vice President of Franchise Development Greg DeCelle.
“We could not ask for a better partner than Seth and Jubilee as we grow Uncle Maddio’s across the country,” said Matt Andrew, CEO and founder of Uncle Maddio’s Pizza Joint. “We share a common belief that you can deliver a first-class dining experience at an affordable price. Guests at their 13 upcoming restaurants are guaranteed to be served with love.”
