Owning a Celebrity’s Soul Food casual restaurant is a tremendous opportunity.”
Taja Jacobs adds, “The hottest trend right now is Celebrity’s fast casual restaurants which offers disposable dishes and flatware. In this environment the food is presented as more upscale with dishes such as gourmet and authentic signature slammin’ mac and cheese, kickin’ collard greens and so much more.” “Fast-casual is the new culture in this billion-dollar industry. We have nailed the concept of ensuring prompt service while serving homemade dishes that still permit for families to come back to the table again.”
