Charleys Philly Steaks Franchise Opportunity

Testimonials

I migrated to the United States of America, the land of opportunities. For a better life and a better future. I fell in love with the idea that I could achieve any goal I set, as long as I work hard for it. I was then introduced to Hartz Chicken. I ran it successfully for ten years. I was then recommended to try out a donut shop. It went well, although I did not like getting up so early every day. So, I decided to look for something new, something different, something that I don’t have to get up early for, every single day. That’s when my good friend Bruce Kim, introduced me to this amazing franchise called “Charley’s Philly Steaks”. I strongly believe that with the right location, this franchise could prove to be very successful. I wouldn’t have joined Charley’s if I didn’t believe in its potential."

As a new entrepreneur with a corporate Cyber Security background, I decided to begin my franchisee journey with Charleys because of my love for the food, my belief in the brand, and my alignment with their core mission and values. I can truly say becoming a Charleys Franchisee was one the best decisions I've ever made in my life. They have one of the simplest operations in the industry and a strong corporate team to help Franchisees be successful. Their brand awareness is strong and it's continuing to grow as more locations open up. They genuinely care about their owners and the communities they serve. I look forward to continuing my franchisee journey with Charleys and helping to grow the brand.

We Live By Three Words: Make Customers Happy

Ever since Charley Shin persuaded his mother to invest her savings in a relatively unknown cheesesteak restaurant right across the street from The Ohio State University campus in 1986, he's lived by three words: Make Customers Happy.

At the time, the cheesesteak was relatively unknown outside of Philadelphia, and Charley grew his business one cheesesteak at a time. In 2023 the cheesesteak is a wildly popular sandwich, appearing on menus from pizza chains to chic, high-end restaurants. Today, Charleys Philly Steaks is the largest cheesesteak franchise in the world, largely because of Charley's commitment to delivering an exceptional customer experience.

"We know that in the United States, nobody eats because they're hungry - customers want an experience," Charley says. "We're always working on ways to increase our customer base, and by adding wings to our menu, we get to broaden our appeal. Our cheesesteaks are already head and shoulders above anything found in Philadelphia, and we're just going to continue to treat our customers as individuals and ensure that they're happy when they leave our restaurants. This has been the secret to our success."
