Toastique, the gourmet toast, juice, and smoothie sensation with 20 open locations, is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its newest location in Tampa at 1011 E. Cumberland Ave. Tampa, FL 33602. on October 28th. On a mission to bring nutrition, health and overall well-being closer to consumers across North America, Toastique has been entering several new markets as entrepreneurs recognize the strength of the brand’s innovative business model, unique consumer offering and simplified operations.
One such entrepreneur is Adrian Lojo, the newest member of the Toastique franchise family and the owner behind the upcoming Tampa location.
Lojo, a second-generation restaurateur and entrepreneur, was immersed in the restaurant business, with his father having over three decades of experience in the industry as a franchisee of a legacy brand. Lojo’s own journey began with small tasks at his father’s establishments, leading to an intrinsic understanding of the dynamics of the restaurant sector. Over time, his pursuit for a venture that aligned more with his personal beliefs led him to Toastique, a brand whose emphasis on aesthetic, quality and innovation resonated with him deeply. After Lojo conducted extensive due diligence alongside his business partners Valery Valencia, Yvis Manrique and Sarai Sanchez, the trio embarked on an ambitious expansion plan — they signed a six unit deal with Toastique, opening their first store in Winter Garden, FL 10 months ago with plans for two more in the near future.
On opening day, the Tampa location will be giving the first 100 customers 50 rewards dollars.
Tampa is just one part of Toastique’s extensive growth plan, making this the third location in the state. As a whole, Toastique has wrapped up the first half of 2023 with five new openings, 27 new signings and entered several markets such as Hoboken and Chatham, New Jersey; Columbia, Maryland; Bethlehem, Pennsylvania; and Colorado Springs, Colorado.
As America’s love for gourmet toast grows — underscored by a whopping monthly spend of nearly $900,000 on avocado toast — Toastique is filling a significant gap in the market, specializing in artisanal toast-based delicacies, all-natural smoothies, cold-pressed juices and açaí bowls. Toastique believes that healthy food should be simple to understand and appreciate, easy to enjoy and above all, accessible to everyone — offering all the benefits of a typical cold juice bar but with the added micro-café toast concept. The brand is healthy, fast-casual food — a rare combination in today’s restaurant industry.
Now, the team is looking for more like-minded individuals who want to bring the wholesome and delicious Toastique experience to their communities by leveraging an impressively scalable and simple business model.
By the end of the year, Toastique locations will open in Newport Beach, California; Tampa and Sarasota, Florida; Virginia Beach, Virginia; Bakersfield, California; and Dallas, Texas. Next year, Toastique anticipates entering Nashville, Charlotte, San Jose, Los Angeles, Michigan, Omaha, Austin, Atlanta, San Antonio and Las Vegas.
About Toastique
Toastique, a gourmet toast franchise founded in 2018 by former D1 collegiate cheerleader Brianna Keefe, believes healthy food should be simple to understand and appreciate, easy to enjoy, and above all, accessible to everyone. With a unique menu that includes toast-focused creations, all-natural smoothies, cold-pressed juices and açaí bowls, Toastique is truly unlike any other health-focused franchise on earth. After the flagship Toastique location in Washington, D.C., generated over $1 million in sales during its first year of operation, Keefe franchised the concept and has expanded it to include five units open in the D.C. area and over 65 franchise units signed across the country.
