Quick Summary
Good Food That Makes Goodcents! That's been our approach for the past 35+ years. Our sandwiches, pastas, salads and cookies are made fresh daily. What's our advantage? It's our proprietary bread and cookies that are baked, in store, twice daily so every meal served is fresh. Our pillowy soft bread is a guest favorite and creates a loyal following. This combined with 'The Goodcents Experience' keeps guests coming back for more. Contact us to learn details about how you can be a part of it

Goodcents - Franchise
Good Food That Makes Goodcents. That's been our focus since Joe Bisogno founded Goodcents in 1989 in Lenexa, KS. Every day we work building a restaurant and support system that lets guests know we deliver on our promises, we cater to their needs, and we care about the quality of our products.
When it comes to quality, we have built a loyal following largely based on our pillowy soft, proprietary bread that is produced and provided to the Goodcents location by our sister company, Custom Foods. That combined with 'The Goodcents Experience' we show our guests how much we care about them and care about the quality we produce that has built a loyal following.
Our offices and support center is located in DeSoto, Kansas, in the Kansas City area. We have a full support system to help our franchisees be successful. Our in-house support system includes marketing, operations, IT, franchise development, accounting, R&D, procurement, compliance, education & training. Whether you are a seasoned business owner or buying your first business, you will have a full support system that includes a comprehensive training program that goes beyond how to make a sandwich. You will also be provided with business operation training, new store opening and marketing support to get your location(s) up and running smoothly and quickly.

“We really enjoy owning our Goodcents. We have owned gas stations and liquor stores before but Goodcents is exactly what we were looking for. My first job was in a restaurant when I was a teenager. Now finally owning the restaurant is like a dream come true. Also our team makes it really easy to run. All our team members work really hard and we are very thankful to have them. And of course Goodcents corporate team is the best corporate team we have ever met! They are always ready to help us with anything we need. They really helped a lot in set up after our remodel. They made our store look like a brand new restaurant. We are looking forward to owning more Goodcents locations soon!”Harry & Shveta Patel
