Mack’s Tenders Founder and CEO, Mike Rosenberger, is a successful Entrepreneur and Restaurateur with over 30 years in franchising. Mike created Dick’s Wings in 1994 and grew the chain to 40 locations before taking the company public in 2011. Mack’s Tenders is Mike’s latest vision for an exciting QSR model.
Mack’s Tenders was created with a simple goal, to craft the perfect chicken tender. Starting with fresh, never frozen tenders Mike’s team of chefs created fried panko crusted and savory grilled chicken tenders with special seasonings that balance the natural flavor of the chicken. They then complemented the tenders with 30 special sauces especially designed for dipping. Mack’s Tenders has one of the lowest initial investments available for a QSR Restaurant, location size is 1,200-1,600 square feet unit with seating capacity of 25-50 and only 4-5 employees are needed to operate. Simple menu, low overhead, and easy-to-learn processes make this the perfect QSR choice for the novice or the veteran restauranteur.
Key Differentiators are:
- Fresh, Never Frozen Chicken Tenders Fried with a Light Panko Crust
- Healthy Grilled Options
- Choice of Waffle Fries, Sweet Potato Tots, and Crinkle-cut Fries
- Chicken Tender Tacos
- Chicken Tender Wraps
- New York Style Sour Pickles
- 30 Flavor Sauce Bar
- In-Line Locations with Smaller Footprint, Lower Initial Investment and Lower Operating Overhead
Mack’s quickly found their customer base to be every age group from 3-90.
