Multi-Unit Operators Bringing I Heart Mac & Cheese To Long Island Market

Vinny Greco and partner Dan Dollard have owned and operated Hurricane Grill & Wings locations for more than a decade in Long Island, New York. Now their Manor 3 company has signed a 23-store development agreement with I Heart Mac & Cheese. All 23 locations will open in the Long Island area with the first nine locations set to open within the next three years.

"I'm excited to join the I Heart Mac & Cheese brand and introduce this concept to the Long Island area," said Greco. "I am incredibly passionate about the restaurant business and especially enjoy helping create remarkable experiences for my guests. I feel I Heart Mac & Cheese is the next great franchise concept - one that will help me do just that - and I look forward to being part of the family."

I Heart Mac & Cheese is a fast-casual concept that specializes in customizable, made-to-order macaroni and cheese bowls, grilled cheese sandwiches, and salads. The brand's first location opened in 2016 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and the brand began franchising in 2017.
