Grand Opening & Beyond

With 200+ franchise locations, Teriyaki Madness (TMAD for short) is a fast casual restaurant franchise serving up real food, made-to-order, with fresh high-quality ingredients. And you should know, it’s not only the delicious food that sets TMAD apart from the crowd; it’s our people — and the full-service support we give to every franchisee — that makes us different from the next Atlanta franchise opportunity.

But don’t just take our word for it. Listen to a current franchisee who experienced the real estate process.

“Real Estate was all brand new to us. No idea what to look for as far as good space and rent costs, so it helped us out a lot having that support. It felt like we were the only franchisee that the team was working with at that point in time. The team was very attentive to our needs. They helped us negotiate with the landlords and everything.”

Jason Doyle & Missy Cheek, TMAD Multi-Unit Owners
