WHITE MARSH, MD—A unique fast-casual concept specializing in made-to-order, fully customizable Build Your Own Bowls and Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, I Heart Mac & Cheese and More, has signed five new locations with their newest franchisee.

With three new locations signed in Fallston, White Marsh, and Bel Air, MD, and Schererville and Valparaiso, IN, I Heart Mac & Cheese and more is ready to give customers around the country the chance to “build their happy.”

The newest franchisee, Fred, saw I Heart Mac & Cheese as an opportunity to fulfill a personal dream – going into business with his childhood best friend, Mike. Both men had been looking for the perfect project to provide for their growing families, and after hearing so much positive attention around I Heart Mac & Cheese and More decided to sign on with the growing company. Fred believes that his local community could use some positivity, and that bringing them mac and cheese can make that difference.

“While we love serving communities around the nation with mac and cheese and more, it’s important to remember that we’re so much more than that,” said Steve Giordanella, I Heart Mac & Cheese and More CEO. “We’re grateful that Fred, his friends, and his family believe in the company’s vision, and we’re looking forward to working with him in the future.”

The rapidly developing franchise has locations already open across Florida, New York, Texas, Georgia, and Indiana with several more in development.

With a home office in South Florida, I Heart Mac & Cheese and more offers franchise owner training, marketing support and ongoing development opportunities to ensure each location’s success.

An exact location and opening date for the White Marsh restaurant have not yet been announced.
