The Big Biscuit continues to build strong momentum as a leader in restaurant franchise growth, marking a year filled with major milestones and a clear vision for the future. As we celebrated our 25th anniversary, we also celebrated strategic expansion, industry recognition, and a growing network of franchise partners.
A major highlight in this phase of restaurant franchise growth was signing the Umstattd Franchise Group, a partnership that reflects confidence in The Big Biscuit’s proven business model and long-term scalability. We also proudly opened our 30th restaurant in Wichita, Kansas—a significant milestone that underscores steady, sustainable expansion.
This year’s industry recognition reinforces that we’re moving in the right direction. The Big Biscuit was named an FSR Next Generation Restaurant to Watch, earned a spot on the Entrepreneur 500, and was recognized on the Franchise Times Top 400 list. These accolades position The Big Biscuit as a standout in restaurant franchise growth, innovation, and franchisee support.
Looking ahead, The Big Biscuit’s roadmap for 2026 focuses on intentional expansion and key market growth opportunities. Three additional corporate locations are slated to open in Wichita, Kansas, while existing franchisees are expanding into Oklahoma City, Northwest Arkansas, and Columbia, Missouri. The Big Biscuit is also preparing for expansion into key growth markets, including Manhattan, Kansas, St. Louis, Missouri, and Dallas, Texas.
With a strong foundation, proven operations, and increasing demand, The Big Biscuit is well-positioned to continue its franchise growth through strategic partnerships and market-driven expansion. For franchise prospects and industry partners, the road ahead reflects both stability and opportunity.
