Dortch Enterprises (DE) is a company in the restaurant business as a Subway and Taco Bell multiunit franchise operator and formerly owned the Halo Burger chain. Dortch is only one of 38 out of the 17,000 Subway franchisees worldwide that owns 40 or more locations.

The Louis Dortch family started out in the dry cleaning business with Troy Cleaners, now owned by other family members. Louis Dortch Sr. and Louis Dortch Jr. decided to expand from the dry cleaning business and opened a Flint Subway location in 1987. The duo followed with four more location in 13 months.

The company also became a franchisee of Qdoba Mexican Grill. Their first Qdoba was opened in Grand Blanc in 1998. An additional 14 locations in Genesee, Oakland, and Wayne counties would be built by 2008. In November 2008, Qdoba purchased Dortch's franchised locations. With the increasing number of Subways in the state and the sale of the Qdoba franchise, Dortch looked for another brand to expand in Michigan. Dortch originally settled on being a Sonic Drive-In franchisee.

By 2010, DE owned 40 Subway locations. Dortch Enterprises had negotiated for property for a Sonic location in Dearborn and had Planning Commission approval for a Livonia Sonic location in March 2010. At the end of 2010, Dortch purchased the nine location Halo Burger chain for about $10 million which led to them ending their Sonic franchisee.

In 2011, Dortch Subway Groups opened three more locations by June. In August 2012, Dortch filed and received approval for a site plan for a joint Halo Burger-Subway location on Belsay Road in Burton.

While Dortch Subway Groups was up to 65 locations in October 2013 for a net gain of 22 locations from 2011. By October 2014, Dortch moved their Milford and Highland Subway stores to new locations at both ends of Milford.

Dortch Enterprises sold the 15 location Halo Burger chain to Halo Country LLC in January 2016.

Einstein Bros. Bagels


imageEinstein Bros. Bagels

Einstein Bros. Bagels is an American bagel and coffee chain.

Einstein Bros. was created by the chain restaurant corporation Boston Chicken (now Boston Market) in 1995, as a way to market breakfast foods. The chain is now owned by Einstein and Noah Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Einstein Noah Restaurant Group, Inc.

Boston Chicken, Inc. originally formed the Einstein and Noah Bagel Corporation as Progressive Bagel Concepts, Incorporated (PBCI) in March 1995, when it purchased three retail bagel chains, all located in regions of the United States that did not have longstanding bagel traditions. These companies included Offerdahl's Bagel Gourmet, Incorporated (Fort Lauderdale), Bagel & Bagel, Incorporated (Kansas City), Baltimore Bagel (San Diego), and Brackman Brothers, Incorporated (Salt Lake City). Each found that their stores were similar in that they offered both original and new bagel flavors in rich neighborhoods where the customers had relatively little previous exposure to bagels.

Noah's Bagels was founded by Noah Alper on College Avenue in Berkeley, California. In 1996, the chain of 38 stores was sold to Einstein Bros. for $100 million.

New World Coffee was founded in the early 1990s by Ramin Kamfar, an investment banker who left his finance career to open a coffee shop. It bought Manhattan Bagel out of bankruptcy in 1998. The combined company purchased Washington, D.C.-based Chesapeake Bagel Bakery in 1999 when that chain had 89 stores, giving Manhattan approximately 350 locations.

By 2000, Einstein Bros. was in financial trouble, having loaned too much money to franchisees. After it declared bankruptcy, New World Coffee, which had earlier attempted an unsuccessful hostile takeover, bought the company out of bankruptcy for $190 million.

In 2014, Einstein Noah Restaurant Group was acquired by JAB Holding Company and BDT Capital Partners.

imageElevation Burger

Elevation Burger is an American fast casual restaurant chain that originated in Falls Church, Virginia, within the Washington Metropolitan Area. They have over 50 locations operating in the United States, México, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

The initial idea of an organic fast casual restaurant was conceived in 2002 by founder and owner Hans Hess. He opened the first restaurant in September 2005, in Falls Church, Virginia, and was called "the first organic burger joint" by Saveur magazine.

In Spring 2008, Elevation Burger decided to expand from its original location through franchising with the help of Fransmart the company behind the franchise success of a competitor. Subsequently, they announced franchising deals for new restaurants in the Washington Metropolitan Area (April 2008),Baltimore, Maryland (September 2008),Austin, Texas (October 2008),Montclair, New Jersey (November 2008),Florida (March 2009),Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (May 2009),New York City (May 2009),Dallas, Texas (June 2009). The Austin & Dallas stores are closed and now its only two Texas locations are in Houston & Katy.

Elevation Burger’s corporate parent and founder appeared in a Wall Street Journal article from June 2009 as one of the companies recently targeted by fake Twitter profiles. The respective Twitter profile, created in the name of Elevation Burger but promoting a rival, was discovered in March 2009, then suspended after a letter from Hess's lawyer.

Extreme Pita sells a variety of pita wraps, including cheese steak, falafel and chicken Caesar selections, wrapped in "Lebanese-style" pita bread. These pitas are available in 6 inch and 9 inch sizes. The company also offers soups, salads, and a variety of flat-bread pizza pitas, baked on location. Its products are portrayed as a "healthy alternative to fast food." For example, the cheese and meat used to make their products are unprocessed.

EVOS Food Creations, Inc. (styled ēvōs) is a chain of franchised fast food restaurants founded in Tampa, Florida. The company operates 3 locations in Florida. The name "EVOS" derives from the word, "evolve".

The idea for EVOS came when co-founder Dino Lambridis and friends were unable to find a fast, healthy lunch during a trip to Miami. Lambridis has claimed, "We have a very unique [sic] concept that doesn't exist in the marketplace...We're an all-American burger cafe, except the ingredients are much healthier and more natural." The company uses beef that is hormone and antibiotic free, air-bakes their french fries, and uses organic milk and sugar to make their shakes. The company sponsors the EVOS Healthy School Lunch Program in order to improve nutrition for schoolchildren. EVOS' stores are made with sustainable materials, their packaging is biodegradable, and their ingredients are all Fair Trade Certified.
