Carl L Karcher said the reason he is partnering with Pepper Lunch to bring us in as their 4th brand in their portfolio is “ The simplicity of the operation, the low-no skilled labor model, and the rise of asian culture and food concepts in america are attractive and differentiated from other brands we could operate.”

Pepper Lunch CEO, Troy Hooper said “We are honored and humbled that an operator with such a legacy of success and experience would not only consider becoming a franchise partner with us, but that they saw an opportunity and were not shy about committing to 20 stores across a wide territory to ensure they were able to harness the great business opportunities Pepper Lunch offers as an investment.”
