The first location is expected to open by the end of 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Who&#8217;s Behind the Swig Franchises Deal?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The franchisee group is led by brothers James and Spiro Laskaris and business partner Stephen Attard. These are not first-time operators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>James entered franchising in 2001 with Dunkin&#8217;. The group now runs 80 Dunkin&#8217; locations and 11 Baskin-Robbins restaurants. They also operate multiple Zaxby&#8217;s and Jimmy John&#8217;s units. Spiro built his own Greek concept, Spiro&#8217;s Taverna, with seven Florida locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s serious operational depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>What is Swig?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Swig was founded in 2010 in St. George, Utah. It started as a single drive-thru. Today it has more than 150 locations across 16 states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The concept is built around highly customizable drinks. Think <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/cosmcs-closing\">flavored sodas<\/a> with add-ins, specialty lemonades, and energy drinks. The brand calls its customer experience &#8220;<em>Daymaking<\/em>.&#8221; Small moments. Big loyalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Why the Model Works for Swig Franchises<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Swig franchise model is designed for efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Locations can operate in as little as 800 to 850 square feet. The drive-thru-centric footprint requires no complex kitchen infrastructure. That means lower build-out costs and streamlined labor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simple to run. Simple to scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Why This Matters for Would-Be Swig Franchisees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Swig is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/swig-supercharges-company-store-growth-and-franchising-opportunities-302575634.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">expanding<\/a> fast. The South Florida 25-unit franchise deal is part of a broader national push targeting experienced multi-unit operators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brand is chasing a consumer trend that isn&#8217;t slowing down. Customization. Convenience. Beverage innovation. The dirty soda segment has real momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For qualified operators with restaurant experience, Swig is actively looking for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/franchise-agreement-restrictions\">franchise partners <\/a>right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>The Bottom Line on Swig franchises and This Florida Franchise Deal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This deal signals that Swig is serious about scaling. Experienced operators. High-growth market. A simple, drive-thru model that doesn&#8217;t require a full kitchen build-out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s a formula worth paying attention to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interested in Swig franchise opportunities?
