Walking Tall Brands, LLC.

The idea of Walking Tall Brands was formed in 2018 when some friends had an aspiration of creating a value-based and growth-oriented restaurant organization in which they could take pride and have fun. As they percolated this idea, one thought kept coming up, that group took the MOST pride of past accomplishments providing real opportunities for their teams and seeing them grow within their respective roles and organizations. They concluded they needed to create a company that makes its primary mission to create an organization where “Our People,” Customers, Team Members, Restaurant Leaders, Community, Vendors and Franchisors can “Walk Tall” with pride in our company and fellow team members.
