ATLANTA, July 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The digital-first restaurant innovators at Franklin Junction are expanding availability to consumers nationwide by announcing a new agreement with Grubhub, one of the nation's leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery services. 

The partnership will center on Franklin Junction's fast-growing list of host kitchens and popular food concepts, with Grubhub agreeing to fund Q3 marketing support for two Franklin Junction brands, The Captain's Boil and Order XOXO.

Global franchise and restaurant expert Aziz Hashim first launched Franklin Junction in April 2020, introducing an innovative concept in response to restaurants that were struggling to monetize excess kitchen and storage capacity amid closures and other limitations.

"The Franklin Junction platform was designed to match excess kitchen capacity with concepts eager to grow their consumer reach" said Hashim.  "In doing so, our team intends to help as many retail locations and brands thrive in this uncertain restaurant reality.  We know that today's restaurant consumers appreciate the ease and efficiency of restaurant delivery and have created a platform that enables thousands of restaurants to meet this demand
