We build brands. We franchise businesses. We invest in the real estate beneath them.
Gramcor is a founder-led, family-run operating company that develops, acquires and scales consumer brands across North America, and invests in commercial real estate in its own right.
One flywheel, two engines.
Most companies pick a side: build the brand, or own the building. We do both, on purpose, because each one makes the other stronger.
We franchise and operate the concepts ourselves, so every location we open is a tenant we already know, running a playbook we wrote. The brands we build
Owning the real estate lets us pick corners patiently, control build-outs and underwrite each site like our own money is in it, because it is. The real estate platform
Founder-led. Next generation already leading.
Gramcor is a family company. Together our leadership has contributed to the development of more than 1,400 locations and three million square feet of leased space across North America. Succession here is not a plan in a drawer. It is in place and working, and it is what carries these brands forward.
