Angie’s Food Concepts is a privately held business, fully funded by friends and family. To date, approximately $30 million has been invested in the company, enabling us to establish the infrastructure required for long-term growth. This includes a seafood wharf in Maine, a seafood processing facility and distribution center in Maine, a production and distribution center in Phoenix, a chicken processing facility in Phoenix, and 18 restaurant locations across Phoenix, Tucson, Flagstaff, and Las Vegas. We have also assembled an experienced executive team to lead our expansion. The current infrastructure is capable of supporting growth to as many as 200 locations.
Following the founding of Salad and Go in 2013, we secured funding from a private equity firm to support its growth. Over time, with each successive funding round, the firm increased its ownership stake and ultimately became the majority owner. While there are many reputable and good private equity partners—and ours was among the best—their fundamental goal remained consistent: to accelerate growth and maximize valuation as quickly as possible. Even the most forward-thinking private equity firms operate under similar pressures—to deliver rapid financial returns. This short-term mindset is precisely what we intend to avoid at Angie’s.
Our vision requires the flexibility to prioritize investment in our food and our people, over aggressive expansion. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards and will not sacrifice quality under any circumstances. To preserve this integrity and grow responsibly, we have chosen to forgo private equity funding. Instead, we are partnering with private investors who share our values and are aligned with our mission to redefine fast food.
If you believe in our commitment to offering fast food that is both higher in quality and lower in price—and would like to contribute to this transformative mission—we invite you to join us as an investor.
