Grown Launches Innovative Franchising Program
Grown, an organic family-friendly fast-food restaurant, is making waves in the food industry with the launch of its nationwide franchising program. Founded by entrepreneur Shannon Allen and NBA superstar Ray Allen, the restaurant aims to transform the fast-food landscape by providing wholesome, nutritious meals.
The Story Behind Grown
In a deeply personal journey, Shannon Allen embarked on a quest for healthier food options after her son Walker was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at a young age. This prompted Shannon to seek out nutritious alternatives while juggling life as a busy mother of five and managing her husband’s NBA career. Frustrated by the lack of quick, affordable, organic food options, she realized the necessity of Grown. “I was driving with Walker in the backseat, managing his blood sugars and reading labels. There was nowhere to go for real food,” she expressed. This revelation became the foundation upon which Grown was built—a restaurant that prioritizes health without sacrificing convenience.
The Vision of Grown
Grown offers a revolutionary menu that features organic, single-ingredient meals designed to cater to busy families, athletes, students, and anyone seeking nutritious food. “Nutrition has always been key to my preparation,” said Ray Allen, co-founder and global ambassador of Grown. “We focus on real food, cooked slowly for fast people.” The essence of Grown lies in providing convenient meal options that don’t compromise on quality.
Franchising Opportunities
With the ambition to expand, Shannon and Ray Allen are inviting passionate individuals to join their mission through the new franchising program. Franchisees will gain access to a proven business model characterized by:
- - A strong brand reputation and national media attention.
- - A chef-created menu featuring fresh, organic meals.
- - Comprehensive training and operational support.
- - A unique container model designed to expedite opening processes and encourage diverse ownership.
- - A catering framework aimed at serving professional and collegiate sports teams.
These attributes position Grown as an attractive opportunity for entrepreneurs, families, athletes, and wellness enthusiasts looking to make a meaningful impact in their communities. The franchise seeks individuals dedicated to reimagining fast food and promoting healthy living.
