Marc and Frank\, both hailing from Sumter\, South Carolina\, and Kiera\, a native of Philadelphia\, all share a deep connection to the state\, having graduated from the University of South Carolina in Columbia. \nTheir decision to franchise with Big Dave’s Cheesesteaks was driven first and foremost by the exceptional quality of the food—truly remarkable in every way. But it’s more than just great food. The brand resonates with their values\, aligning perfectly with their commitment to giving back to the community\, supporting entrepreneurship\, and creating opportunities for others. As proud Columbia residents and USC alumni\, the Five Points community holds a special place in their hearts. Opening their first location here is a true honor\, as the area is both nostalgic and poised for exciting growth.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
