Brooklyn Dumpling Shop, a dumpling chain based on the historic Automat concept, has signed a multi-unit franchise deal to make the brand's first appearance in the southern region of the U.S., according to a press release.

Franchisee Sam Cole closed on a deal to bring at least five units to the Dallas area, introducing the first Brooklyn Dumpling Shop to the Lone Star State.

Brooklyn Dumpling Shop is on track to meet its target growth trajectory of 500 units within five years after a year of rapid growth since its inception in 2020.

After the opening of the first Brooklyn Dumpling Shop in New York's East Village earlier this year, the brand has signed franchise deals for more than 34 units throughout New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Texas and Florida, and is exploring additional markets for expansion, such as Houston, Texas.

Brooklyn Dumpling Shop is partnered with Fransmart, the franchise development company behind brands like Five Guys Burgers & Fries and The Halal Guys, as its exclusive franchising partner.
