“This incentive program is a win-win for both Farmer Boys and our franchise partners”

“By rewarding franchisees for multi-unit development, we’re fueling our
expansion strategy while giving our partners meaningful financial support to scale their businesses.”

said George Havadjias, CEO of Farmer Boys.

For more than four decades, Farmer Boys has stood out as a strong and stable franchise opportunity,
combining proven profitability with exceptional franchisee support. Each restaurant benefits from
average unit volumes exceeding $2.3 million*, backed by an in-house team that helps franchisees succeed
from site selection to daily operations.

Franchise partners receive 12 weeks of hands-on training and ongoing operational support from a
dedicated Franchise Business Consultant — ensuring consistent execution, brand alignment, and
long-term success. Farmer Boys’ real estate team also guides franchisees through site selection, lease
negotiation, and construction, reducing risk and accelerating openings.

Beyond operational excellence, Farmer Boys is deeply rooted in community engagement by partnering
with local schools, vendors, and children’s hospitals–while offering multiple revenue streams through
dine-in, drive-thru, delivery, and loyalty programs. Together, these advantages create a franchise model
that balances profitability with purpose, positioning Farmer Boys as a compelling investment for
growth-minded operators.
