Franchise

Gold Star Chili franchisees currently operate stores throughout Greater Cincinnati and in Dayton Ohio and Lexington Kentucky. Gold Star Chili Inc. is currently evaluating expansion opportunities in these market areas as well as other cities. At the same time, we are fine-tuning our franchise agreements and financial models in order to give new franchisees the greatest opportunity for successful long-term operation.

Greater Cincinnati is recognized as "Chilitown USA" and Gold Star is one of the city's most iconic brands. As such, and with growing regional and national awareness of Cincinnati-style chili, a Gold Star Chili franchise offers unique and truly authentic dining experience.
