Heart to Home Meals Signs First U.S. Franchise in Raleigh, NC, Marking Major Milestone in National Expansion Effort

Leading Franchise Food Delivery Provider Flourishes as Senior Consumers Increasingly Prefer Reliable, Healthy, & Great Tasting Meals and the Ability to Age in Place

MARLBOROUGH, Mass., June 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Heart to Home Meals, a community driven franchise with a mission to provide home-delivered meals to seniors, is proud to announce the signing of its first U.S. franchise in Raleigh, North Carolina. Backed by years of success across Canada and the UK, along with a large US home office located in Marlborough, Massachusetts and servicing all of MA, NH, and parts of CT and RI, the brand is now actively looking to grow through franchising throughout the United States.

With a proven model that combines compassion, convenience, and community impact, Heart to Home Meals is redefining senior care through food, making it easier for older adults to remain independent in their own homes. Most importantly, Heart to Home Meals brings the medically aligned, nutritious meals straight to the consumer's door, with a dedicated team of drivers going above and beyond to help each senior, often delivering straight to their freezer. After building a robust base of 18 outlets in Canada and rallying over 100 franchise partners globally, the company is turning early U.S. momentum into a nationwide opportunity.

"We've seen firsthand the difference our services make in people's lives, and we're thrilled to bring that impact to communities across the U.S.," said Christopher Webb, President of Heart to Home Meals. "Our early traction in Massachusetts and Raleigh has shown that our mission resonates here, and now we're looking for franchise partners who want to grow with us."

With the senior population continuing to surge and projected to hit nearly 80 million by 2040, the need for home-delivered, nutrient-rich meals increases alongside it.

Expansion to Raleigh, North Carolina with First U.S. Franchise

- Heart to Home Meals newest location opens this June in the Raleigh, North Carolina market
- The new location is the brand's first franchise location in the US
- The initial $40K franchisor investment will be directed entirely toward local marketing to launch the business. Similarly, all early franchisees will see their investment reinvested directly into their own operations, ensuring that their funds go right back into supporting and growing their business from day one.

In addition to North Carolina, the brand will be focusing on building additional operations in markets across the U.S, specifically targeting Texas and Florida for early development. As part of the global apetito group with over $1 billion in annual sales and a legacy of nutrition-focused care since 1958, the brand has had huge success internationally and is looking to replicate that success in the US.

"We are excited to broaden our franchise opportunity and welcome more hands-on entrepreneurs into the Heart to Home Meals family," said Richard Peroe, Senior Director of Franchise Development. "We're looking for passionate individuals who want to make a real difference in their communities. With our proven international model, innovative approach to senior nutrition, and unmatched support for founding franchisees, now is the perfect time to join our mission of delivering not just meals, but care, dignity, and connection."

Heart to Home Meals answers the growing demand for high quality meals for seniors with a scalable, community-oriented model that attracts a wide range of entrepreneurs. Heart to Home Meals has no ongoing royalties or fees, a low investment cost, and a home-based business opportunity, keeping the business family-owned for four generations. The brand is backed by a plethora of awards and accolades that showcase that its services are helping to allow more people to live at home as long as possible.
