In 1980, Mike and Fouly Frangos turned their passion for food and service into a high quality fast food restaurant in downtown Cleveland. Mike focused on serving people with a smile and serving them quickly. Fouly focused on making sure the recipes were exceptional and the presentation of the food was extraordinary. With their hard work and attention to detail, it didn’t take long for the restaurant to catch on. Rascal House became a “home” away from home for hungry college kids and an office favorite for downtown Cleveland’s working crowd.

After the first couple years in business, word got out that Rascal House was a unique place to get high quality food, and customers were hungry for it! Even back in the early 80’s, the menu featured pizza, sandwiches, hamburgers, french fries, salads, and more! People loved the variety, but more importantly, they loved being able to get it all at one place.

Mike knew he was onto something, but everything changed when he started up the Rascal House delivery service. People couldn’t get enough, and a different kind of pizza place was truly born.

We’re proud of our history, our reputation, and the fact that we’re still a Cleveland hometown favorite. Rascal House has had the privilege to serve hundreds of thousands of Clevelanders, local travelers, sports teams, students, and countless others.

We’re now asking ourselves, “How can we make it better?” and the answer is simple. We’re taking the Rascal House experience to more neighborhoods! We’re committed to people; our customers, our crews, and the communities we serve. That’s why we’re turning our success story into an exciting franchise opportunity. It is our goal to continue to bring the same quality products, service and opportunity to people and cities nationwide.

When you follow tried and true systems (over 37 years) and do things right, you’re bound to build a healthy fan base.

The timing is right and territories are wide open.
