Benefits of Franchising with Beef-a-Roo

Whether you are just starting as an owner or looking to add to your portfolio, Beef-a-Roo is a must-have name for you! This is an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of what is sure to be the next big name in the QSR industry. Beef-a-Roo was once a privately owned company, operating 8 successful locations and named #1 QSR in Rockford, Illinois year after year.

Since the restaurants have been operating for over 50 years, ownership has strong supply chains, operations, and POS systems in place. Additionally, ownership takes the stress of the entire development process, off your plate. Working with national brokers and general contractors, Beef-a-Roo franchising offers a turn-key purchasing experience, allowing you to do what you do best— focus on your new business and build new clientele.

Beef-a-Roo Competitive Advantage

Because Beef-a-Roo is new to the franchise world, currently territories are open nationwide. You will have your choice of locations to place your Beef-a-Roo!

Outside of the name being unforgettable and an immediate draw to attention, the Beef-a-Roo quality and presentation is like no other. From our famous Roast Beef sandwiches, Wraps, Cheese Fries, and Burgers all the way down to our Salads— there really is something for everyone. No competitor in the QSR industry comes close in taste and variety like Beef-a-Roo.

Beef-a-Roo’s signature dish, the Roast Beef sandwich has seen a significant increase in interest in the past three years, with the only competitor in the industry being Arby’s. Beef-a-Roo, with its intriguing name, iconic Buckaroo mascot, and culture of community, is poised to take market share of not only the Roast Beef industry but to be a true QSR industry disrupter.

Early franchisees of Beef-a-Roo will have access to their choice of territory! There is no other brand like Beef-a-Roo, and the access to the state and city of your choice is almost unlimited. The quality and presentation of the Beef-a-Roo product is like no other.
