Fast casual restaurant platform company Craveworthy Brands has completed the acquisition of Untamed Brands, the parent company of Taim Mediterranean Kitchen and Hot Chicken Takeover.

Craveworthy said the acquisition is part of its growth strategy and will help solidify its position in the healthy Mediterranean and popular chicken segments.

With the acquisition, the two brands will join Craveworthy’s diverse portfolio including BD’s Mongolian Grill, Dirty Dough, Flat Top Grill, Genghis Grill, Krafted Burger Bar + Tap, Lucky Cat Poke Co, Pastizza Pizza & Pasta, Scramblin’ Ed’s, Sigri Indian BBQ, Soom Soom Mediterranean, The Budlong Southern Chicken, and Wing It On.

The company plans to integrate Taim with Soom Soom, while Hot Chicken Takeover (HTC) will join Budlong for a fresh hot chicken concept.

Both Taim and HCT will feature new branding and refreshed restaurant designs to boost the guest dining experience in the future.

Taim currently operates 13 restaurants across New York and Washington DC, while HTC has seven restaurants in Central Ohio and two Columbus sports team stadium locations.

“Successfully integrating Taim and HCT will be a game-changer for Craveworthy Brands and place the company at the helm of the restaurant landscape, as we continue to expand our footprint and presence throughout the US,” said CEO and founder of Craveworthy Brands Gregg Majewski.
