By leveraging centralized manufacturing and distribution, we eliminate food prep and specialized labor requirements for franchisees, making our business model simple to operate while delivering high Average Unit Volumes (AUVs) at a competitive retail investment.
Our S.T.E.P. Approach:
Now part of the LFG Family of Brands, PLN will leverage a highly educated direct-to-consumer market with existing awareness and high demand in markets nationwide.

Project LeanNation is the first and only nationally franchised retail model that offers ready to eat prepared meals utilizing centralized manufacturing and distribution so there is NO food prep for the franchisee!
