Minnesota's first McAlister’s Deli location will open in Mankato, Minn., in early 2024. All 10 restaurants are projected to open over the next five years.
McAlister’s parent company Focus Brands also announced a tri-brand franchise agreement that will bring Auntie Anne’s, Cinnabon and Jamba to Mankato.
Both agreements were made with Steve and Dani Wegman. The duo own multiple food concepts around the greater Mankato area including 507, Weggy’s, Krusty’s Donut Shop, The Wagon Wheel and more.
