The Charlotte Uncle Maddio’s is owned and operated by franchise partners Jerry Licari and Tim Verhagen. They opened their first two Uncle Maddio’s restaurants in 2014; the first in Overstreet Mall and their second in Huntersville. In total, the partners have signed on to open eight locations across the Charlotte area, making them one of the largest franchisees for the brand.
“Our locations in Charlotte and Huntersville have been incredibly successful, and we plan to build on that success for our third location,” Licari says. “This is only the third of many Uncle Maddio’s we have planned for the greater Charlotte area.”
“Jerry and Tim are proven franchisees that have built a great following in Charlotte,” says Matt Andrew, CEO and founder of Uncle Maddio’s. “There is a lot of opportunity to build out new locations in around Charlotte, and they are the guys to help us expand in the area.”
Since launching its aggressive growth plan in 2008, Uncle Maddio's has signed franchise agreements with 67 different entities in 18 states. Many of Uncle Maddio's franchisees have previous multi-unit experience with Jimmy John's, Firehouse Subs, Dairy Queen, McDonald’s, Burger King, Krystal, Papa John's, Domino's, and Golden Corral.
