Background: Fresh Eats, a growing health-focused fast-casual restaurant franchise, aimed to open a new location in the bustling city of Seattle, Washington. The franchisee, Emily, needed funding to cover the initial setup costs, including leasehold improvements, kitchen equipment, initial inventory, and marketing expenses.

The funding covered the leasehold improvements, outfitting the kitchen with state-of-the-art equipment, purchasing initial inventory, and launching a targeted marketing campaign. The new franchise quickly became popular, generating strong sales and attracting a loyal customer base. Within the first year, the location exceeded revenue projections, and Emily is now planning to open additional locations with the continued support of GHC Funding.
