Craveworthy Brands said 2024 was a “record-breaking” and “milestone” year for the company marked with large-scale expansion and strategic ventures.

The company started in 2023 with only three brands and 19 locations and grew to 15 brands with nearly 200 locations by the end of last year.

The new brands added to the portfolio include Dirty Dough, Sigri Indian BBQ, Hot Chicken Takeover, Taim Mediterranean Kitchen and Fresh Brothers Pizza.

The company also formed a joint venture with New Summit Capital Partners to introduce international quick-service and fast casual concepts in the US.  

In terms of innovation, Craveworthy introduced multi-brand dining concepts Craveworthy Kitchen in Chicago and virtual concept Nomad Dawgs.

Major appointments last year include John Silvestri as the company’s first General Counsel and Perry Miele as an advisory board member and stakeholder.

Looking ahead, Craveworthy is committed to continuing to elevate global dining experiences, opening more doors to entrepreneurship and achieving its vision of $1 billion in systemwide sales.

“As we expand in 2025, we’re more determined than ever to fuel our growth, push the limits of flavor and create memorable experiences with every brand in our portfolio,” said founder and CEO Gregg Majewski.
