They built the business on strong day-to-day operations and a commitment to the neighborhoods they serve, earning a loyal local following along the way. That same community-first, hospitality-driven approach is what they plan to bring to Gregorys.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Running our pizzerias taught us that it all comes down to the details and the people,&#8221; said Ricky Singh. &#8220;That never changed, no matter how busy we got. We fell for what Gregorys does \u2013 good coffee, good food and a real sense of community, and as New Yorkers, Long Island is exactly where we want to build that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After nearly 20 years in one of the most competitive coffee markets in the world, Gregorys has scaled by staying true to its model \u2013 small-batch coffee roasted in its own NYC roastery and a guest experience that has built lasting communities of &#8220;Gregulars.&#8221; Each location is crafted to be a daily ritual for guests and a scalable business for operators.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ricky and Nick are exactly the kind of franchisees we want to grow with,&#8221; said Gregg Majewski, Founder and CEO of Craveworthy. &#8220;They know how to run great restaurants; they take care of their guests and they&#8217;ve earned everything they&#8217;ve built. When our franchisees win, we win, and I have no doubt they&#8217;re going to do great things with Gregorys on Long Island.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With 50 locations across the U.S., Gregorys joined the Craveworthy portfolio in 2025 and launched its franchise program in 2026. Through Craveworthy&#8217;s shared services platform, franchisees gain access to comprehensive support across operations, training, culinary, supply chain, technology, real estate and marketing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We were Gregulars long before we were franchisees,&#8221; said Nick Singh. &#8220;Gregorys was already part of our routine, so when the opportunity came up, it went beyond just business for us. What drew us in was a brand we already loved and the support behind it \u2013 we knew we wouldn&#8217;t be building this alone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Brand continues to seek experienced operators in the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, Mountain West, Northeast, Southeast and select West Coast regions.
