Capriotti's and Wing Zone to Decrease Real Estate & Buildout Cost with WeBuild Global

Top QSR Concepts Partner with Industry-Leading Construction/Design Firm to Elevate Franchise Buildout

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Capriotti's Sandwich Shop (Capriotti's) and Wing Zone are embarking on a strategic partnership with WeBuild Global, one of the franchise industry's leading fabrication, design, and construction companies, to reimage and streamline the real estate timetable and cost for future restaurant locations nationwide.

The partnership with WeBuild will afford Capriotti's and Wing Zone a greater degree of efficiency in the opening process, which in turn will help alleviate many of the usual real estate headaches that come with a new franchise agreement. WeBuild has designed a fresh, modern, cutting-edge new look for both brands that will elevate the customer experience and help get new sites open to the public quicker than ever.

"We're debuting new warehouses across the country, which will allow our team to act more efficiently and effectively for the Capriotti's and Wing Zone team as the partnership progresses," said Erik Hansen, COO of WeBuild Global. "And that's on top of the current time and cost saving measures we've already introduced to both concepts."

This partnership will help eliminate the uncertainties of construction timelines, lowering that average cycle time by 30%, while also decreasing the buildout cost for franchisees by as much as 25%. These improvements showcase the latest evolution in the franchise opportunity for each brand, which are intended to both develop their respective footprints, and bring the culture and culinary creativity of both to more communities.

"For the long-term health and growth of any restaurant company, they must first establish a dependable and predictable model for ROI that takes a variety of considerations into account, chief amongst which is the cost of opening," said David Bloom, Chief Development and Operating Officer for Capriotti's and Wing Zone. "This partnership will not only decrease that cost for franchisees, but make the road to profitability clearer than ever before."
