March 28, 2024 // Franchising.com // DALLAS - Buona Companies announced today that it has signed a multi-unit agreement with Mid-Continent Hospitality. Composed of experienced restaurateurs led by Zeenat Ladiwalla, Mid-Continent Hospitality plans to develop 10 dual-branded locations throughout several communities in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas.

The agreement is a milestone for the Buona Companies, made up of Buona and The Original Rainbow Cone Ice Cream Shop (Rainbow Cone) as it continues its strategic nationwide expansion.

“We are thrilled to be expanding into Texas. Texans have been introduced to Chicago dogs and deep dish pizza, now they will have the opportunity to experience Chicago's true gem, the original Italian Beef sandwich,” said Joe Buonavolanto III, Executive Vice President of the Buona Companies.

Family-owned and operated, Mid-Continent Hospitality facilitates business across the hotel industry (Marriott, Hilton and IHG Hotels & Resorts), the restaurant industry and other retail outlets nationwide. The founder, Minhas Ladiwalla, passed away unexpectedly last year and was a true visionary, wonderful father, husband, and family man. His wife, Zeenat Ladiwalla, CEO of Mid-Continent Hospitality, and her two sons will carry out Minhas' vision to bring a dual-branded Buona and Rainbow Cone restaurant to every major city in Texas.

"We’re extremely pleased to be the first to introduce the Buona and Rainbow Cone brands to Texas,” said Zeenat. “Our team is ready to hit the ground running, and already have sites picked out for our first restaurants in Frisco & McKinney. It’s an honor for our family to continue the Buonavolanto family tradition and create memorable dining experiences for all our soon-to-be guests."

Buona’s menu features the iconic Chicago original Italian beef and sausage sandwiches in addition to diverse menu offerings such as burgers, Chicago-style dogs, salads, chicken sandwiches, and ready-to-eat catering options for homes or businesses. The Original Rainbow Cone is home to the beloved one-of-a-kind sliced creation comprised of slices of chocolate, strawberry, Palmer House (New York Vanilla with cherries and walnuts), pistachio, and orange sherbet. The location will also feature a variety of additional ice cream flavors, sundaes, ice cream cakes and more
