Crave Hotdogs & Barbecue, known for its BBQ, jumbo hot dogs and self-pour beverage walls, will be adding approximately 15 restaurants to its growing franchise in Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Concord, North Carolina; Orlando, Florida; Shreveport, Louisiana; Raleigh, North Carolina; Arlington, Texas; Denver, Colorado; Broussard, Louisiana; Canton, Michigan and Fayetteville, North Carolina, according to a press release.

"After experiencing tremendous growth in the past few months, we are excited to announce our expansion, impacting new cities with our love for food and community. PourMyBeer is currently in our Colorado Springs, Colorado, and Pflugerville, Texas units and we have received great feedback from our patrons. We are looking forward to implementing PourMyBeer into our new locations," Samantha Rincione, founder, CEO, and chief operations officer of Crave Franchising LLC said in the release.

Crave is working with beverage system partner, PourMyBeer, to offer self-serve beverage technology and to provide each location a wide variety of beer, seltzers and ciders for customers to choose from.

"We've been fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Crave as they continue to grow their brand. They say that a company is an extension of its owners, and working with the owners of Crave and the franchisee owners has been like working with family," Josh Goodman, founder and CEO, PourMyBeer, said in the release. "We have the same commitment to consistently delivering a great experience for their customers and we look forward to helping them continue to do big things together."

Crave will also be the first franchise to utilize PourMyBeer's ID scanning feature that will provide additional safety and social distance measures for both employees and guests.

The company is headquartered in East Setauket, New York and has 13 restaurants, primarily in the South and Midwest.
