Future Plans

• In 2018, Keke's opened in six new locations, it has opened in another three locations already in 2019 and plans to open three more before the end of the year.
• The two brothers who own the brand have stated they are happy with the current setup. While they aren't against expanding the management team, the two brothers have emphasized it will take an exceptional partner to entice them.
• The franchise model will remain the model of business with the owners stating, "Our plan was to have four or five units of our own, but the demand from our guests was so great that we didn’t feel we could accomplish that with just the two of us — at least not to the standard that we were looking for. That's why we decided to sell franchises"
• While Keke's continues to offer franchise opportunities, they have closed the Orlando market and indicated they are close to closing the Florida market, with only single-unit opportunities available for the foreseeable future.
• The company has made it clear they are not opening any franchises in the international market.
• Keke's has indicated they will consider franchises outside the state of Florida for multi-unit (10 or more) operators.
