Why Now?

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced companies across virtually all industries to rethink how they do business.

Toastique was perfectly situated to take these lemons and make (organic) lemonade!

Pivoting to a takeout and delivery-only model has allowed Franchise Owners to remain profitable over the first two quarters of 2022.

Additionally, the public health crisis has people thinking more about preserving their own well-being, opting for healthy, antioxidant-rich foods in an attempt to boost their immunity.

The already-booming health food industry is projected to surge even higher thanks to an increased urgency to live a healthier lifestyle.

The face of fast-casual dining is changing to meet the demands of customers looking for convenient options they can feel good about. As the future of the traditional dine-in restaurant remains uncertain, emerging, grab-and-go healthy concepts like Toastique are poised for phenomenal success.

History:

From a young age, Toastique Founder Brianna Keefe’s passion for health, wellness, and fitness motivated her to create fresh smoothies and juices during high school.

As a D1 collegiate athlete, Brianna began experimenting with toast creations to provide the perfect combination of carbs, protein, and healthy fats in an easy, grab-and-go form.

These toast masterpieces inspired the idea of a café that would combine her delicious, healthy, on-the-go toasts with the already-proven concept of smoothies and cold-pressed juices.

After bringing her idea to her boyfriend, George “Kyle” Izett, he offered to use his background in commercial construction to design the first location, and was able to complete the buildout in only 40 days!

Brianna and Kyle’s first Toastique location opened in the Wharf district of Washington, D.C. in 2018 to overwhelmingly positive feedback.

Toastique was such a big hit that the couple generated over $1 million in sales in their first year.

In 2019, Brianna and Kyle opened a second location in Alexandria, VA, followed by a third Toastique in Washington’s Navy Yard district. Despite opening in summer 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the newest Toastique location is proving to be just as popular as its two predecessors.

During the events of the 2022 pandemic, Toastique has been able to quickly pivot their model, implementing third-party delivery options and online ordering with great success.

After repeated requests to expand, Brianna and Kyle decided that their gourmet toast business was too good to keep confined to the Northeast, and decided to begin franchising across the country!
