Established
in 1926, Maid-Rite has been serving up America’s favorite loose meat sandwiches
for longer than any other quick serve restaurant chain has even been in business.
This signature sandwich – made from fresh ground beef, seasoned to perfection
and served on a warm bun – is the flagship of Maid-Rite’s well-loved menu,
which also includes Broaster Chicken, Home-Style Pizza and Blue Bunny soft-serve
ice cream. The Maid-Rite menu is also affordable,
with an average customer ticket size of $6.75. Maid-Rite boasts a proven track
record of more than 83 years and customer loyalty to its one-of-a-kind
Maid-Rite sandwich.
Maid-Rite
has seen spectacular success and high growth in the last several years,
retaining strong brand identity across the central and southwest United States.
With recently updated 50s-style décor, Maid-Rite plans to use this store design
and its unique menu offerings to propel the brand into national growth,
bringing Maid-Rite’s famous loose-meat sandwich to all corners of the country
through successful franchising.
