New York Butcher Shoppe Nears 50 Locations as National Expansion Accelerates

May 19, 2026 // FranchisePR.com // GREENVILLE, S.C. – New York Butcher Shoppe is making strides in their franchise development goals for 2026. The news follows a recent announcement of a strategic investment partnership with The Foundry Group, which brings hands‑on operational expertise to strengthen the company’s foundation and support scalable, nationwide franchise growth.

New York Butcher Shoppe currently operates 42 units across 10 states and is quickly advancing toward its 50th location, set to open by the end of the year. The brand’s development pipeline is robust, with nine new stores slated to open across a variety of franchise-friendly states, including:

• Texas
• North Carolina
• South Carolina
• Florida
• Georgia
• Tennessee

“The growth we’re seeing right now is a direct reflection of the confidence our franchise partners have in this brand and the business model behind it,” said Joseph Giordano, VP. Corporate & Franchise Development. “As we expand into new states and welcome more multi‑unit operators, it’s clear that The New York Butcher Shoppe offers a rare combination of strong unit economics, operational support, and a concept that truly resonates in every community we enter. The opportunity ahead of us is tremendous, and we’re just getting started.”

“We chose The New York Butcher Shoppe because it felt like the perfect blend of premium offerings and a proven business model, but just as importantly, we knew it would be a true partnership. From the beginning, it was clear they were just as invested in our success as their own,” said Ruth Nokes, Owner of New York Butcher Shoppe of Colleyville. “Opening our second location is a big milestone for us; and it validates what we’ve built with our first store and gives us the chance to expand that same passion into a new community.”
