Expansion momentum Ballard Brands is actively expanding with plans to open a new store by fall 2026 after purchasing property, indicating ongoing growth opportunities for franchise partners and equipment suppliers.

Acquisition leverage The 2018 acquisition of Garces Group assets and continued integral ownership of PJ's Coffee signal a track record of strategic acquisitions that could open cross-sell opportunities for equipment, supply chain services, and brand licensing.

Portfolio breadth Portfolio spans multiple concepts including PJ's Coffee, WOW American Eats, Boardhouse Serious Sandwiches, and New Orleans Roast, offering diverse collaboration possibilities with beverage, foodservice equipment, and franchise development vendors.

Franchise ecosystem With 200 locations across traditional and non-traditional models and a network of franchisees and operating partners treated as family, there are recurring revenue opportunities in fortifying franchise support, training, and supply agreements.

Regional strength Headquartered in New Orleans with a Louisiana footprint and national/international reach, Ballard Brands presents a gateway for regional supply partnerships, distribution services, and brand activations in Gulf Coast and expanding markets.
