Build a business around Nostalgic comfort food and Cincinnati chili

A Gold Star Chili franchise restaurant is a tremendous opportunity in the $256 billion QSR industry. For the last 50+ years, Gold Star has won an enormous following in the Cincinnati, Ohio metropolitan area, where we excel at serving up delicious comfort food with the kind of old-fashioned, family-style hospitality that is sorely lacking in the rest of the industry. With a new streamlined menu, chic new restaurant design and a proven business model that allows our franchisees to thrive for decades, Gold Star is ready to breakout of our stronghold in the Cincinnati market and expand across the Midwest.

In the booming QSR restaurant segment, Gold Star franchises have it all: a menu founded on a legendary product that customers crave alongside additional items that bring in new visitors and spur repeat visits. Now blend that ability to innovate with a half century’s experience creating a solid, successful franchise network and you’ve got a legacy brand that knows how to take care of business now — and is poised for rapid growth in the future. We own the comfort food space!
