Great Wraps
 

GREAT WRAPS is the #1 Hot Wrapped Sandwich & Grilled Cheesesteak Franchise, and is experiencing rapid growth. That's because we offer a franchise opportunity that is unique and proven, and provides tremendous growth potential. We feature a powerful menu that is fresher and tastier than traditional fast food, and our Great Wraps Spice Bar lets customers custom-flavor their fries. No one else offers this level of choice. Our operation is extremely efficient, and is so simple to learn, you don't even need prior food experience. *Recession Buster: We are offering ALL NEW FRANCHISEES 50% off the franchise fee (now only $11,250) and 3 months NO ROYALTIES for agreements signed April 15th through December 31st, 2010.
