Heart to Home Meals Begins U.S. Franchise Expansion with Raleigh Location

Heart to Home Meals Takes a Major Step in U.S. Expansion

In an exciting development for the senior meal service sector, Heart to Home Meals has officially signed its first franchise in the United States, located in Raleigh, North Carolina. This milestone marks a significant entry into the U.S. market after the company's successful operations in Canada and the UK. With over 150 nutritious meal options specifically designed for older adults, Heart to Home Meals is dedicated to helping seniors age in place while maintaining their independence and quality of life.

A Proven Model for Success

The franchise’s business model is rooted in compassion, convenience, and community impact. Heart to Home Meals not only delivers meals but also fosters meaningful connections with their customers. Each delivery is handled by a caring team that ensures seniors receive their meals directly to their door, often assisting them with storage for future use.

Christopher Webb, President of Heart to Home Meals, shared, "We've seen firsthand the difference our services make in people's lives, and we’re thrilled to bring that impact to communities across the U.S." The early traction in both Massachusetts and Raleigh signals a strong demand for their tailored meal services.

With projections indicating that the senior population in the U.S. could reach nearly 80 million by 2040, the need for high-quality, nutritious meal delivery is more crucial than ever. Heart to Home Meals focuses on addressing this emerging demand, prioritizing simple and effective solutions for seniors.

Raleigh: The First U.S. Franchise Location

The Raleigh franchise is a crucial step in the company’s broader expansion strategy. Opening this June, it marks the brand's first franchise presence in the U.S., backed by an initial investment of $40,000 from the franchisor. This investment will be directed toward local marketing efforts to maximize community engagement and awareness about the service. Early franchisees will see their investments funneled back into their operations, ensuring that resources are used to enhance their business.

After establishing a successful network of 18 outlets in Canada and accumulating over 100 franchise partners worldwide, Heart to Home Meals is keen to replicate this success across the U.S. The focus will also extend to Texas and Florida, where significant market opportunities exist.
