In 2025, it plans to extend its presence in Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas, as well as continuing to grow in its home state of Georgia.
Knuckies Hoagies founder Todd Broaderick stated: “We’re all about making a real impact – one hoagie, one guest and one community at a time. As we grow, we’re looking for partners who are just as passionate about getting out there, connecting with people and spreading the positivity of Knuckies.
“Our partnership with Walmart is a game-changer, helping us reach even more customers and expand into new markets, all while continuing to make a difference in the communities we serve.”
The brand’s growth is supported by partnerships with Walmart, foodservice distributor Sysco, Engelman’s Bakery and beverage company Pepsi.
In August 2024, Knuckies Franchise Company partnered with Walmart to open franchise locations inside major Walmart stores, expanding its regional brand offerings.
The move has provided franchisees with access to established customer bases in high-traffic locations, further propelling the brand’s growth.
Its outlets offer a range of desserts through a national licence agreement with Alumni Cookie Dough.
Broaderick stated in August 2024: “We are excited to extend our reach to even more communities through this incredible partnership with Walmart.”
