We’re #1!
It’s no fluke Boston’s was named the #1 Restaurant & Sports Bar by
Entrepreneur Magazine (Franchise 500 BEST OF THE BEST – 2017). In fact,
here are a few other numbers that show what makes Boston’s a winner:

design and space options to ensure your Boston’s is a perfect fit for your

Conversion Opportunities
When the opportunity for converting an existing property is possible, the
savings in investment and time can be significant. There are many markets
across the U.S. that have been overdeveloped by casual dining brands and then
abandoned, leaving behind excellent locations with conversion potential.
Boston’s is prepared to develop these spaces when the opportunities are in our
targeted markets and meet our site and demographic requirements.
Non-Traditional
Boston’s restaurants are a perfect fit for locations in airports, casinos, select truck stops and travel plazas, military installations, theme parks and sports venues. The opportunity to offer select menu items, and popular beverages from our sports bar, gives Boston’s an additional advantage to serve Guests in areas that are not commonly considered for many restaurant concepts.
Hotels
Boston’s has experience operating in hotel environments. We currently have two (2) units open and operating; one in Little Rock, AR at the Holiday Inn and a brand new restaurant in Yuma, AZ at the Four Points by Sheraton (Marriott). We also have two (2) new hotel locations under construction that will open in 2022. We are aggressively seeking franchisee partners in the hotel segment in the following categories for new build and conversion opportunities:
- Midscale
- Upper midscale
- Upscale
