From Growing Up in Little Caesar’s To Owning 33 Stores - Ryan Fegahli aka QSRGuy


Listen Later

In this episode, I sit down with Ryan Feghali, also known on X as the famous QSRguy, a powerhouse multi-unit franchisee who:

  • Owns 33 Little Caesars across California, Oregon, and Arizona
  • Operates a Jersey Mike’s
  • Founded his own viral cookie-and-coffee concept, Coco Playa, which did $1.3M+ in its first year
  • We cover:

    🍕 Ryan’s roots folding boxes in his dad’s Little Caesars and why he initially swore off franchising
    🚀 How he went from buying two underperforming stores to scaling a 33-unit pizza empire
    📈 The systems, tech, and hospitality strategy that help his stores outperform the average AUV
    💰 What he looks for in acquisition deals—and why he’d rather overpay for a great location
    🥤 How his new concept Coco Playa exploded with Gen Z fans and dirty soda diehards
    🤝 Why franchising too early is a trap—and what he’s doing differently as a founder
    📚 Plus, a teaser on the book he’s working on

    If you're into QSRs, franchising, or just love a good operator story, this one’s packed.
