Craveworthy Brands, the fast casual restaurant platform company behind popular brands like Dirty Dough, Wing It On!, and The Budlong, has launched an equity crowdfunding campaign to raise capital for growth. The company is breaking barriers by giving the public the opportunity to invest in its expanding portfolio of restaurant brands. With investments starting as low as $500, community members can fuel the company’s expansion and tech innovation.
Craveworthy Brands recently acquired a significant stake in Dirty Dough, a cookie franchise known for its unique and delicious cookies. This acquisition showcases the company’s seasoned leadership team and their ability to supercharge the 11 emerging and legacy brands in their portfolio.
Through regulated crowdfunding, Craveworthy Brands plans to exchange $5 million worth of Class A securities for cash investments. Within the first six hours of the campaign, they raised $200,000 from 60 investors, and they have currently raised nearly $450,000.
CEO Gregg Majewski explains that their mission is to find unique restaurant concepts, simplify their operations, and turn them into household names. The crowdfunding campaign allows anyone in their community, including friends, employees, partners, and guests, to play a role in the future success of the brands in their portfolio. Craveworthy Brands aims to disrupt the industry and make it more inclusive by offering others the opportunity to own a part of their success.
The funds raised through this campaign will be used to build additional corporate locations, increase top-line revenue through innovative tech solutions, and power their franchising initiative. The company’s goal is to raise $5 million by June 2024.
In addition to the crowdfunding campaign, Craveworthy Brands is actively seeking growth-minded individuals who are interested in becoming owner-operator franchise partners.
