Project LeanNation was recently featured in Franchise Wire for its comprehensive approach to franchise partner support, highlighting how the brand combines technology, training, and hands-on coaching to help owners build strong, sustainable businesses. The article underscores Project LeanNation’s belief that success requires more than great meals — it requires clear systems, real-time insight, and an aligned partnership between corporate and franchise teams.
At the center of this support model is the brand’s proprietary PLN Storefront platform, which brings together performance data, operational insights, and marketing visibility into one unified view. As Brandon Hudson, Director of Growth at Project LeanNation, explains, technology is treated as a core product of the brand, enabling faster decisions, targeted coaching, and consistent execution at the store level. This data-driven foundation allows the corporate team to identify trends, address challenges early, and continuously improve playbooks and operating standards across the system.
The feature also highlights Project LeanNation’s structured onboarding and ongoing franchise support. New partners receive in-depth training at the company’s Rochester headquarters, on-site pre-opening support, and continued guidance from dedicated franchise support leaders. Chris Kennedy emphasizes the brand’s focus on simplifying operations, diagnosing root causes, and maintaining clear communication through regular alignment calls, regional roundtables, and in-market visits. Looking ahead, Project LeanNation is investing further in member and franchise technology, including enhanced app integrations and AI-supported tools designed to reduce operational friction while preserving the human relationships at the heart of the brand.
Founded in 2012 by Tim Dougherty, Project LeanNation has over 80 open & in development franchise locations nationwide and continues to grow in partnership with Limitless Franchise Growth, reinforcing its commitment to scalable, franchise-first growth.
