Trucewill be launching in May of 2026. Our flagship location will be in Franklin, TN. Join the movement! Truceis built on the belief that real food, integrity, and purpose can ignite a movement. We’re creating a new kind of restaurant. One that proves convenience and uncompromised quality can coexist. We set out to build a concept that refuses to choose between speed, authenticity, and extraordinary flavor and quality. AtTruce, there are no compromises. Our mission is to change the way our Guests eat by serving chef-crafted meals made from wholesome, all natural, seed-oil-free ingredients prepared with heart and sourced with purpose. We believe people deserve food that matches their ambition, their values, and their pursuit of a better life. Food should fuel your best life, and that belief is baked into everything we do. From house-made dressings and sauces to fresh-baked breads and pastries.Truceis our answer to those demanding more. More honesty, more flavor, more care, and more purpose in every bite. This is a brand built for people who feel a fire for purpose-driven work, who believe great food can change lives, and who want to be part of something that stands for more. Truceis led by owner and CEO Matt Frauenshuh, an industry veteran who grew a small family of seven restaurants into over 250 locations across 14 states. Matt knows how to build from the ground up, how to take risks with confidence, and how to roll up his sleeves to make a vision reality, and he’s assembling a team to do it again. We’re seeking trailblazers with that same spirit: courageous, entrepreneurial, ready to hustle, and energized by the chance to help shape a brand destined to disrupt the industry. If this mission speaks to you and your lifestyle, your values and your drive, let’s build this together!
