About Famous Toastery
At Famous Toastery, we’re redefining daytime dining with our “Breakfast. Lunch. Brunch... All at Once!” approach — where every meal is house-made, every guest is treated like family, and every day starts with purpose.
Born in 2005 in Huntersville, NC, what began as a local favorite has grown into a beloved, nationally recognized franchise built on Famously Fresh menus, friendly faces, and a passion for community.
Our franchise partners enjoy the best of both worlds — a thriving business and true work-life balance — with 7AM–3PM hours, a single-shift model, and top-performing locations averaging more than $2 million in annual sales. Supported by more than a century of combined restaurant experience, Famous Toastery offers a proven recipe for success and a lifestyle that’s as rewarding as it is delicious.

History
Founded in 2005 by friends Brian Burchill and Robert Maynard, Famous Toastery began as a single “Toast” café in Huntersville, NC. Their vision was to create a neighborhood restaurant serving high-quality food with unmatched hospitality. The brand expanded rapidly through franchising, reaching multiple states by 2014 and earning recognition from Entrepreneur, Forbes, and Franchise Times. In 2024, Famous Toastery entered Arizona and Texas, establishing its national footprint while staying true to its community-first culture.
