Tommy’s Express celebrates a successful 2023 year as it inches closer to 200 operating locations, breaks ground in Europe, and signs on an impressive number of franchise groups dedicated to opening locations, both nationally and internationally.
Early in the year, the brand celebrated its 150th location and quickly surpassed that milestone, opening forty-seven ground-up locations, and closing the year with 183 locations across 30 states. With more than 400 projects in the pipeline, Tommy’s expects to open between 40 to 50 locations in 2024.
Its first European groundbreaking took place in Allonnes, France and the brand looks forward to more international groundbreakings in the Netherlands, Canada, Puerto Rico, and Australia.
“These achievements are just the beginning,” said Tommy’s Express President and CIO, Ryan Essenburg. “As Tommy’s looks into the future, I am excited for development opportunities not only in new states but new countries.”
