Brand History
What a humble beginning we come from, and we’re so proud of our growth. GW stands for Great Wraps, our name in 90s when we served our famous, signature Gyro Wrap® sandwich, along with healthy wraps & salads. As we sought a larger, more mainstream market, we began adding more indulgent items like Wings & Cheesesteaks. Along the way, we had Chef Carmen, a popular Atlanta chef, develop amazing, proprietary sauces. Well, it wasn’t long before our signature Gyro Wrap®, Wings, and Cheesesteak became the most popular items on the menu, and we decided to rebrand Great Wraps to GW Gyro & Wings to effectively tell folks the unique “craveability” that we bring. And when we did that… whoa, the rest was history. We invite you to be a part of our history, either as a guest at our table, or as a GW franchise owner in your area.


Strong Franchise Support
From our very first contact with you, to your Discovery period, to store development, to your Grand Opening and beyond, our Team bends over backward to maximize your success. We will work closely with you to find a great location, that delivers the daily traffic we need to be successful. Once we secure that, we’ll never leave your side. That’s what a great franchise partner does, and we strive to be just that. Our training, and ongoing operational and marketing support are among the best in the industry. We can even transform first time operators into experts.
The simple fact is this: with a cutting edge food brand, and strong support, your prospects for financial success are so much greater. It starts with a flexible, effcient operation. If you currently operate a location that you’d like to convert to GW, or identify a potential space in a great location, we’ll help you understand the volume potential, so you can negotiate properly for that space. And if you’re looking for a location, we have relationships with the best retail brokers, shopping mall executives, and airports to help you find a great location.
This is great news for you! Instead of you settling for a secondary location because the brand is fully subscribed, GW Gyro & Wings has lots of open field running. You can choose major markets, and locations that are convenient for you. Just check the map to see where GW Gyro & Wings is looking to expand, and together we’ll find you a great location.

FAQs
I’m interested. What now?
Let’s get connected, so you can fully understand what this opportunity is all about. We want you to be comfortable learning more about GW Gyro & Wings, AND we want to understand your situation and career goals, so we can all make a great decision on whether to move forward together. To be successful in the franchise business, it’s critical to find the right chemistry. To get started, please complete our online information request form. You will then be contacted by Kristen Greve, VP of Franchising, and we will begin sending you all sorts of useful information.
Does GW Gyro & Wings make money from my store opening suppliers like so many other franchises do?
Definitely not! It’s true that many food franchises expect kick-backs from their architects, equipment suppliers, contractors, etc., which increases your store opening costs. Our company heart is in a different spot, as we’ve chosen our approved construction vendors strictly because they are honest, dependable, and competitively-priced. They have the experience you’ll need to successfully launch your GW Gyro & Wings franchise on-time and within budget.
Do I need food experience, and how is the training?
You do NOT need any food experience, although restaurant experience is a big plus. Many of our existing Franchise Partners did not come from a foodservice background. All you need is a willingness to follow our proven systems, good communication skills, and a passion for excellence. We’ll teach you the rest. Our two-week Training Program is extremely thorough, and easy to follow. Once you’re open for business, you’ll find GW Gyro & Wings a simple business to operate, and our support systems incredibly effective.
What are your capital requirements?
You know the old adage: “It takes money to make money”. Well, that’s still very much true. You’ll need existing liquid assets (CASH) of at least $175,000, and a net worth of $500,000. With that, you are then well-positioned to approach the Lender for the rest.
I already have a food franchise, is that a problem?
Absolutely not! With your prior food franchise experience, you’re a natural candidate to own a GW Gyro & Wings. However, once in our System, don’t be surprised if you get the sudden urge to commit most of your focus towards GW Gyro & Wings. After all, our huge business potential and expansion opportunities makes us a very dynamic and successful restaurant undertaking.
Does GW Gyro & Wings grant territory rights?
Yes, we will discuss granting protected territories, if you have that passion, ambition, expansion experience, and financial ability. We respect that many Franchisees want to develop and grow their own franchise territories. However, the core of the Company’s unit growth is granting qualified individuals a GW Gyro & Wings franchise for a specific area/location.
Do you provide financing?
GW Gyro & Wings does not provide direct financing. However, we will assist you in obtaining financing through our third-party contacts or a financial institution of your choice.
How do I get my store built?
We will provide you with a complete Restaurant Development Guide that contains all of our design, construction, and equipment specifications. To support you further, our Store Development Team will work closely with your approved architect, contractor, and other suppliers to make your store opening as easy, cost effective, and hassle-free as possible.
How soon can I be in business once I have executed a development agreement and located a mutually accepted site?
Once a solid location has been secured, designed and permitted, a GW Gyro & Wings unit can be built and open for business (barring unforeseen events) in approximately 12-24 weeks.
How much is the Franchise Fee?
Our Franchise Fee for your GW Gyro & Wings franchise is $25,000.
What type of locations work best?
Successful GW Gyro & Wings stores benefit from a strong business lunch. That’s why we look for locations that have robust daytime populations, like strip centers on busy thoroughfares, downtown business districts, locations near medical, government, or college campuses, or in a regional mall.
What makes a successful GW Gyro & Wings Franchisee?
This is the key question! There are three elements to any successful franchise relationship: a proven brand, a great location, and a great operator. We have the first element, we’ll help you find an amazing location, and the third element is most often the X Factor – YOU, and your leadership and willingness to follow our proven program! Our best franchise partners have a passion for success, a commitment to quality and service, and a willingness to embrace our exceptional franchise systems.
