Chiddy's Cheesesteaks started from humble beginnings and grew steadily in the first few years, but has since seen the brand explode in popularity in recent years experiencing great success at Citi Field with the NY Mets.

We have found that we become an immediate community favorite and are told that our unique menu is a great addition to their neighborhood.
Our training program ensures that new franchisees have the support they need from end to end. We help from site selection and financing, to grand opening and beyond. The owners are very accessible and enjoy working with the team to ensure success and consistency.
Chiddy's has a catchy name and quality menu items. We offer a "build your own" themed menu that our customers love so they can add their personal customization to their orders. Staff can be easily trained to follow simple and efficient operating procedures. We have built an extensive menu from a limited number of ingredients which makes for easy inventory management.
A major advantage of our franchise offering is the low investment costs. Our cash requirement and total investment costs are significantly lighter than similar chains. Our speed to market gives franchisees an opportunity to start generating revenue quickly. The Food Truck add-on option is a great way fo access high profit margin catering.
Finally, we are an emerging brand with amazing potential and early franchisees can be optimistic that Chiddy's will continue to build value as the brand becomes more recognizable as we scale.
The information presented may have changed since first published. We recommend that you always verify fees, investment amounts and offers with the business opportunity directly prior to making a decision to invest.
1. What training and ongoing support do you provide?
You want to know what happens after you pay the initial fee. A strong franchisor provides comprehensive pre-opening training, site-selection help, operational playbooks, and continuous assistance with marketing, technology, and supply chains.
2. What is the total initial investment, and did actual startup costs match the estimates in Item 7 of the FDD?
The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) lists estimated startup costs in Item 7, but real-world expenses can run higher. Asking how closely current owners tracked to these estimates reveals if you need extra working capital or if hidden fees exist.
3. How do royalties and local/national marketing fees impact profitability?
You need to understand ongoing financial obligations-such as monthly royalty percentages and ad fund contributions-and evaluate whether the brand value and support justify cutting into your profit margins.
4. What are the common challenges new franchisees face, and how do you help them overcome them?
Transparent franchisors will openly discuss real hurdles like local competition, tight labor markets, or supply chain bottlenecks, and show you the exact playbook or field support they offer to solve them as well as allowing you to speak with other franchisees.
5. How many franchise locations have closed or left the system in the past few years, and why?
High turnover, store closures, or quiet franchise exits are major red flags. This question measures system stability, territory health, and whether the corporate team addresses struggling owners or lets them fail.
