Texas Franchisee To Take Coney Beach Into 2 States

Journal Record:

Beautiful Brands International has signed a franchising agreement to expand its Coney Beach restaurant concept into Texas and New Mexico.

This summer licensed franchisee Milap Maniar intends to open one of the 1,500- to 2,500-square-foot gourmet hamburger and hot dog restaurants at his headquarters city of El Paso, Texas. The restaurateur, whose portfolio includes Nestle Toll House Café and Kandy Kingdom, will follow that with a Las Cruces, N.M., outlet by March 2009.

‘The food is excellent, atmosphere is unique and the price point is reasonable for both individuals and families,’ he said.

These could represent the first expansion outlets to open for Beautiful Brand’s retro beach-shack concept.
