I Heart Mac & Cheese

I Heart Mac & Cheese franchise first began in Fort Lauderdale, FL in 2015 and is growing by leaps and bounds. The I Heart Mac & Cheese restaurants are family-friendly neighborhood restaurants which serve macaroni and cheese, grilled cheese, salads, tomato soup and other tasty beverages and food items.

The Food

Consumers can customize their macaroni and cheese or grilled cheese with a variety of toppings, cheese and proteins and their selections are cooked in our state-of-the-art quick cooking ovens that deliver a quality hot product in a matter of a few minutes. We only use high-quality cheeses, proteins, and vegetables. We provide our franchises with all the tools and support necessary to achieve consistency and success.

The Differentiators

I Heart Mac & Cheese is a unique franchise concept in the restaurant industry because there are no fryers or hood systems necessary. There is a low investment requirement for opening a restaurant.
