Arooga's Named to FSR Magazine's "America's Top 50 Emerging Restaurant Chains"

 Arooga's does it again, achieving another accolade on the nation's stage by being named to FSR Magazine's America's Top 50 Emerging Restaurant Chains for 2018. Arooga's is listed alongside emerging industry powerhouses with less than 50 units on the verge of explosive growth-proving that full service restaurants are still big players, with exciting concepts and the numbers to show for it.

"It is great to be recognized yet again by FSR Magazine." said Gary Huether, Jr., Arooga's President and Co-Founder.  "Our growth these past couple of years has been exhilarating, and we are excited for the future of our brand." Founded in 2008 in Harrisburg, Pa, Arooga's has since grown to 19 locations, 10 of which are corporate owned in the Central Pa region.  The brand began franchising in 2010 after besting more than 250 entrants in 36 states in America's Next Top Restaurant Franchise, a contest co-sponsored by Sysco Foods and The Franchise Edge in their nationwide search to find an independent restaurant to become the next great franchise opportunity.  Their first franchise location opened in 2015, adjacent to Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, CT, and the brand has since entered into agreements for nearly 100 locations across the East Coast, and has its sights set on further expansion nationwide.

The recipient of several national accolades, including selection as America's Next Top Restaurant Franchise, as well as recognition among Entrepreneur Magazine's Top 500 Franchises of 2018, Full Service Restaurant magazine's Top 50 Emerging Restaurant Chains 2018, and Entrepreneur Magazine's 2018 Top Food-Based Franchises, Arooga's Grille House & Sports Bar continues to charm the industry with its commitment to utilizing the latest technology in enhancing the guest experience and improving operational practices, creating unique and delicious menu items with fresh natural, ingredients, and observing environmentally responsible operation methods in their restaurants as part of their certification by the Green Restaurant Association.

Arooga's currently has 19 locations, which include franchises in Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts, along with their 10 corporate locations throughout the central Pennsylvania region.  Location 20 is scheduled to open this fall in Rockville Centre, NY.
