Steak
Escape...
This Ain't No Ordinary Fast Food Joint!
"Maybe
you've never heard of us before. We're Ken Smith and Mark Turner, founders of
Steak Escape, the undisputed mecca of authentic cheesesteak lovers," says
Ken Smith. "And if you've never eaten a Steak Escape cheesesteak sandwich,
you're missing out because they're positively addictive. In fact, they're the
single biggest reason why our company is so successful," says Mark Turner.
If It's Not FRESH, It's Not Here.
We don't have too many hard-and-fast rules at Steak Escape, but QUALITY is one we won't bend on. Back when we began the Steak Escape business in 1982, we built it on a foundation of freshness and quality. To us, that meant not settling for anything but the best ingredients and preparation methods. From our fries hand-cut from fresh Idaho potatoes and our lemonade squeezed fresh every day from Sunkist lemons, to our in-store-baked cheesesteak rolls and premium meats and cheeses, you simply cannot improve on our quality. And after all these years, we still feel comfortable cooking it all to order right up front, for every customer to see and appreciate.
Nothing processed, nothing freeze-dried, nothing premixed.
"That's our concept. And we're sticking to it."
Even our thinking is FRESH!
Way
back in 1982, when we opened the first Steak Escape in Columbus, Ohio, we made
a lot of mistakes. The kitchen
caught on fire, Mark caught his thumb in the slicer, and we kept running out
of food. You see, in the beginning, we learned the hard way. But we never sacrificed
the one thing that's most important: Quality. We figure that's why we tripled
our initial sales projections our first year. And that's why our first manager
became our first franchisee. And that's why there are so many Steak Escape restaurants
opening across the country and around the world.
At
Steak Escape, the customer will find the freshest food, served as fast as freshness
will allow--with as much fun as possible! They can watch their steak sizzle
on the grill right in front of them and feast their eyes on vine-ripe tomatoes,
fresh onions, mushrooms, green peppers and real (not processed) cheeses all
waiting to be thrown on the grill. They can get acquainted with the friendly
Steak Escape guy or gal behind the grill as their made-to-order sandwich takes
shape on a genuine, fresh-baked Philly cheesteak roll.
The great thing about Steak Escape Franchises:
You don't have to make mistakes that people starting their own businesses usually
make--because we are here to guide you to success!
Since
the time that we have perfected our menu with it's great cheesesteak sandwiches,
hand-cut French Fries, grilled salads, smashed potatoes and fresh-squeezed lemonade--we
have been perfecting a great company.
You
can travel up and down the food courts, and in and out of all the big-name fast-food
franchises, and we doubt you'll find a company more supportive of its franchise
owners than Steak Escape!
We'll provide all the Steak Escape information necessary for your architect to generate your architectural drawings, for spaces as small as 1000 square feet to as large as 2500 square feet. We'll guide you through the fifteen-week opening process and provide the initial and on-going training and operational support for both you and your staff. Then we'll do something that's rare for a company of our size--still more rare for a company twice our size . . . We'll keep you plugged in.
Naturally,
Steak Escape has a web site. But we also have one devoted exclusively to our
franchise owners. Constantly maintained with up-to-date info, like management
feedback and current sales reports, it's like having the home office in Columbus
available to you 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You can even download marketing
and training materials if you like.
Steak Escape was originally mall-based, but we're growing quickly into locations
that expand the possibilities even further . . . like college campuses, airports,
convenience stores, military bases, sports arenas, power centers and strip centers.
We're also very enthusiastic about our free-standing stores because of their
greater visibility, their potential for drive-thru sales, and the infinite size
and site options that will help us continue to capture more customers, more
of the time.
Today, there are vast, untapped cheesesteak territories out their, just waiting
to be staked out by franchisees
