Meet The Franchise | Seth Larsen | Cheba Hut

Are you looking to invest in a sub sandwich franchise? While traditional fast-casual brands rely on cookie-cutter, corporate-mandated blueprints, Cheba Hut has broken the industry mold by pairing industry-leading $2.3M+ AUVs with a high-margin, cannabis-themed experiential restaurant model that features a full-service bar and no expensive, complicated fryers or grills. On this episode of Meet The Franchise, 1851 Franchise Publisher Nick Powills sits down with Seth Larsen, Chief Development Officer of Cheba Hut, to discuss how the brand secured a landmark intellectual property and trademark securitization deal with Diversified Royalty Corp, a massive validation of the franchise's proprietary value that allowed the brand to accelerate growth without sacrificing equity. Larsen has been a leader in driving Cheba Hut to maintain steady, disciplined system-wide growth, reaching over 75 active locations across the United States. Need help finding a franchise to own?
