"Antonio and Peter are both very accomplished businessmen and we're proud to have them leading our franchising program for Miami-Dade County," said Peter Brown, President of Obee's Franchise Systems, Inc. "South Florida is a strategic cornerstone for our expansion strategy because it both exposes the Obee's brand to a marketplace with over 5 million people and begins to balance the presence we have on Florida's west coast." Bernette Enterprises has plans to open sixty-five (65) restaurants. Obee's is a fast-casual restaurant with a menu focused on high-quality soups, salads and subs with an emphasis on their deli-style fresh-sliced meats and cheeses. Started in Port Charlotte, Florida, Obee's popularity quickly grew the company to a strong regional brand. There are currently 81 Obee's locations open with an additional 70-plus in development. OBFC has commitments to open an additional 1,300 stores over the next ten years. Obee's affiliate company, Ultimate Franchise Systems, Inc., will continue to supply extensive operational oversight and support.
