Great Wraps
 

At GREAT WRAPS It’s All About Flavor! We use zesty, hot combinations of top-quality meats, real melted cheese, fresh produce and hand-made sauces. GREAT WRAPS is already the number one Wrapped Sandwich and Hot Cheesesteak franchise and have taken our Brand and Operation to the next level. Our franchise opportunity is unique, proven and provides tremendous growth potential. We just rolled out beautiful eye catching new designs, a fresh Logo and a revolutionary new hoodless cooking system that offers tons of operational efficiencies that you can’t find anywhere else. All three day parts of our powerful menu are now prepared using only space aged convection ovens. This mean no vent hoods, no unhealthy fryers or oil, no grills and no grease traps. It also means we can open in pretty much any type of location. The end product is fresher, tastier and far more healthy than traditional fast food. Customers can choose from fresh Salads to amazing hot Cheesesteaks; its hard to find this level of choice anywhere else. Our operation is extremely efficient, and literally push button easy. You don't even need prior food experience.
