Exceptional product and simplicity of operations make NEW YORK FRIES an outstanding opportunity. Our concept is simple - our standards are high. We start with fresh potatoes, hand-cut, on-site everyday. We cook them in 100% vegetable oil, using our own special process. Runner-up for 1994 Franchise of the Year award by CFA and winner of many marketing awards. It's an excellent opportunity for a multi-unit operator with a respected system.
