Flying Biscuit Café Invades Georgia

The Flying Biscuit Café has signed a franchise agreement with Keisha Carter to bring the brand to McDonough, Georgia. The agreement covers one café, with Carter hoping to develop additional locations in Georgia communities over time.

Keisha Carter, the franchisee, has nearly 10 years of experience in sales, business development, operations, client relations, and team leadership. She holds an MBA in finance management and is a Six Sigma Black Belt. Carter will partner with Eric Gladmon, who will serve as the main operating partner for the new café. Gladmon has over 30 years of ownership and operations experience with an Atlanta salon.

The new café will be located in McDonough, Georgia, and will serve the surrounding Henry County market. The site and opening date of the new café will be announced separately. Henry County is one of the fastest-growing counties in Georgia, with a population that rose from 203,922 residents in 2010 to 240,712 in the 2020 census, and an estimated 264,922 residents in 2025.

## Why it matters The expansion of The Flying Biscuit Café to McDonough, Georgia, is significant for the local community. The area has seen rapid growth, but the sit-down breakfast and brunch options have not kept pace. Carter, who lives in the market, saw this gap as an opportunity to bring a beloved brand to her community. The new café is expected to provide a welcoming space for locals to enjoy all-day breakfast and brunch.

The partnership between Carter and Gladmon brings together a wealth of experience in business development, operations, and customer service. With Carter's expertise in sales and marketing, and Gladmon's experience in ownership and operations, the new café is well-positioned for success. As the brand expands to new locations in Georgia, it is likely to have a positive impact on the local economy and provide new opportunities for employment and growth.
