Pickleman’s Gourmet Cafe, a US fast-casual dining concept founded in 2005, has announced its expansion in Texas with a new franchisee group.
The four-store agreement with Integrity Franchise Group is Pickleman’s second multi-unit franchise group in the Dallas-Fort Worth market.
It extends Pickleman’s footprint to nine locations scheduled to open before 2029.
Integrity Franchise Group has more than 22 years of experience in the restaurant industry, expanding multi-unit operations and developing better catering services.
Integrity Franchise’s real estate investment background and focus on local engagement align with the Pickleman’s brand.
Pickleman’s Gourmet Cafe founder and CEO Doug Stritzel stated: “We’re excited to welcome Integrity Franchise Group into the Pickleman’s family. Their dedication and entrepreneurial spirit make them the perfect fit to represent our brand.”
Integrity Franchise Group stated: “Pickleman’s commitment to quality sets it apart, and we’re proud to bring that experience to our communities. From the ingredients to the atmosphere, everything is thoughtfully crafted, and we can’t wait to share it with DFW.”
Pickleman’s offers a fresh take on fast-casual dining with its seven-ingredient bread, premium No Antibiotic Ever (NAE) proteins, house-made sauces and fresh-baked cookies free from artificial additives.
Its menu features toasted sandwiches, chopped salads, tavern-style pizzas, savoury soups and handmade cookies.
