Fairfax, VA — June 21, 2018 — Today, highly awarded, sports-themed American grill and bar, Glory Days Grill, announced an agreement with Franchise Freeway to be Glory Days Grill’s outside franchise sales broker tasked with identifying potential franchisees who are qualified to develop, open and operate franchised Glory Days Grill restaurants located in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern regions of the country.

They have surrounded themselves with a world-class management and training team to support the next phase of franchise expansion as well as the additional corporate restaurants that will open this year,” said Mike Halpern, CEO of Franchise Freeway.

Franchise Freeway will be focused on expanding Glory Days Grill with seasoned casual dining operators who can uphold Glory Days Grill’s three pillars of success: serving great food, espousing a love of sports, and an ongoing commitment to the communities they serve.
