Dallas-based Bennigan’s Franchising Company and Brixmor Property Group have announced a strategic partnership to add Bennigan’s restaurants to Brixmor-operated shopping centers. The two companies have initiated a franchise outreach campaign, with the initial phase focused on locations in Escondido, Calif.; Superior, Colo.; Charlotte and Greensboro, N.C.; Cinnaminson, N.J.; James Island and Spartanburg, S.C.; Greeneville and Hermitage, Tenn.; and Austin, Frisco, Fort Worth and Pasadena, Texas. Bennigan’s has been working to rebuild since May 2011. The restaurant overhaul includes a new prototype that debuted a smaller footprint, updated menus and bar offerings, uniforms, logos and signage.
