Thumbs Up Diner - Franchise
About Us
Not so very long ago, many neighborhoods had their own diner where friends and family would gather for a fresh breakfast or a cup of coffee. It was comfortable, it was friendly and it was a part of our lives.
Thumbs Up Diner is step back in time, with a friendly modern diner that is a tribute to the American diner from days gone by. It is a neighborhood meeting place serving great food at reasonable prices with a friendly wait staff. Deco glass in the windows, a curved service counter and an intown address, Thumbs Up Diner combines an urban ambience and friendly service for a relaxing breakfast and lunch experience.
A Business That Fits Your Lifestyle
Imagine owning a restaurant without having to worry about working late nights, dealing with alcoholic beverages or evening emergency calls. One that is closed by 4 pm each afternoon and that frees up your evenings for family, friends or doing whatever you want to do.
This is the lifestyle of Thumbs Up Diner franchise owners. It is also the lifestyle of your employees and managers — allowing you to attract a skilled and committed staff.
A Unique Franchise Opportunity
Short Operating Hours: Thumbs Up Diner is a restaurant that has a focus on breakfast, meaning it has a daytime schedule with a 4 pm closing time.
As a franchisee, your investment in time is limited, which leaves plenty of time to enjoy your family and have a life outside of work. In other words, you’ll own your business — not the other way around.
Limited Competition
There may be a half dozen pizza, burger and sandwich restaurants within a 3-mile radius of most restaurants, but in many cases there are no breakfast-oriented restaurant. Your breakfast-focused menu allows you to separate yourself from the competition.
Signature Menu
With a mix of regulars including neighbors, business people, families and daters, Thumbs Up Diner is a great meeting place for any occasion with its casual atmosphere and friendly get-to-know-you service.
Whether stopping in for a cup of coffee or a full meal, Thumbs Up Diner quickly becomes a part of people’s lives.
