Introduction
Behind every Costa Vida restaurant is an entrepreneur with a dream — and a story worth sharing. Our franchise owners come from all walks of life, but they share one thing in common: the drive to bring fresh, coastal-inspired flavors to their communities. Here’s a look at how Costa Vida helps entrepreneurs turn passion into success.
From First-Time Owner to Confident Operator
Many of our franchise partners began with little to no restaurant experience. Through Costa Vida’s hands-on training program, they learned everything from food preparation and guest service to staff management and financial tracking. Today, these owners confidently run thriving restaurants that serve hundreds of guests daily.
Community Impact That Matters
Costa Vida restaurants quickly become local favorites. Our franchisees love seeing their dining rooms filled with families, students, and professionals enjoying fresh, made-from-scratch meals. For many owners, the real reward isn’t just financial — it’s becoming a valued part of the community.
The Power of the Brand
Our franchisees benefit from being part of a brand that is growing rapidly nationwide. From marketing campaigns to supplier partnerships, Costa Vida provides the tools and resources that allow local owners to compete — and win — in the fast casual dining industry.
Growth Beyond One Location
Some franchisees begin with a single restaurant and later expand into multi-unit ownership, creating even greater revenue streams and stronger community presence. With Costa Vida’s scalable systems, growth is not only possible — it’s encouraged.
Conclusion
Every Costa Vida franchisee’s story is unique, but the common thread is success fueled by a proven model, strong support, and a shared passion for fresh food.
