We build brands. We franchise businesses. We invest in the real estate beneath them.
Gramcor is a founder-led operating company that develops, acquires and scales consumer brands across North America. We currently franchise and operate businesses while developing new concepts and investing in the commercial real estate that supports them.

Franchise candidate, investor, landlord, or just curious about what we run: pick the one that sounds like you.
Own a franchise
Take on a territory with a brand we already operate ourselves. We will walk you through what it actually takes, in plain numbers and plain language.
Franchise opportunitiesDevelop and invest with us
Limited partner and general partner structures, conservative underwriting, and reporting you can plan around. We sponsor commercial real estate and participate in a medical and commercial development syndicate.
Real estate & developmentExplore the portfolio
Five positions, from franchisor to real estate, across three operating brands and two concepts of our own. Every role and territory is written down.
See the brandsWe own the whole playbook, from site selection to opening day.
Four capabilities we run in-house, for our own units and for the operators and partners who work with us.
Development & site selection
Institutional-grade AI location intelligence, paired with our own read of the street, the co-tenants and the drive times.
Underwriting & capital
Conservative models, limited partner and general partner structures, and investor reporting to an institutional standard. If a deal only works in the best case, we say so.
Training & culture
People and culture led by a co-founder with a Master of Education. Training built to be taught, not just handed over in a binder.
Operations & opening support
Build-out coordination, opening plans and coaching that keeps going after opening week, because that is when the questions get real.
Operating brands, and the real estate behind them.
Franchise Platform
We hold and manage franchise rights: franchisor of Dapper Doughnut in the USA and the Dominican Republic, area representative for THE DRIPBaR in North Carolina, franchisor of THE DRIPBaR across Canada through our ownership stake in the company holding the brand’s Canadian rights, and multi-unit developer and operator for CoreLife Eatery in the Carolinas and Virginia.
Day to day that means candidate qualification, territory planning, site selection, opening support and coaching that continues once you are open.
Real Estate & Development
We structure and sponsor commercial real estate, acting as sponsor and general partner alongside limited partners, and we participate in a syndicate developing medical and commercial properties.
On the development side we handle site selection, build-out coordination and multi-unit rollout, including the purpose-built facilities for our Sport Fundamentals concept.
Efficient. Professional. Courteous.
Three words we hold ourselves to. They are operating instructions, not slogans.
Efficient
Small team, short decision path. You reach a decision-maker, not a call center, and we will tell you no when the numbers say no.
Professional
Documented processes, disciplined underwriting and reporting that meets institutional expectations, at any deal size.
Courteous
Franchisees, investors, landlords and guests all get the same thing: plain answers, promptly, with respect for their time.
