Lindon, Utah-based Dirty Dough has secured $2 million in funding aimed at supporting the cookie concept’s nationwide expansion. The investment comes as Craveworthy Brands moves toward full ownership of Dirty Dough after the platform company acquired a “significant stake” in the concept earlier this year.
Dirty Dough, founded in 2018, has grown to over 65 locations and 15 food trucks. According to a news release, the brand has 450 signed agreements in place for additional development.
“We are thrilled to have secured this funding, which allows us to take Dirty Dough to the next level,” Dirty Dough founder Bennett Maxwell said in a release. “Partnering with Craveworthy Brands has already opened doors for us, and this additional capital will help us accelerate our growth while continuing to deliver the quality and innovation that our customers love.”
The chain’s full acquisition by Craveworthy Brands is expected this fall and is expected to provide added resources as it grows. Craveworthy’s portfolio also includes Wing It On!, The Budlong, Krafted Burger + Tap, Genghis Grill, BD’s Mongolian Grill, Flat Top Grill, Lucky Cat Poke Co., Pastizza, Scramblin’ Ed’s Soom Soom Mediterranean, and Sigri Indian BBQ.
“This $2 million investment is a testament to the belief that investors have in the future of Dirty Dough,” Craveworthy Brands’ founder and chief executive officer Gregg Majewski said in a statement. “With our support, Dirty Dough is fully equipped to scale rapidly, innovate in the marketplace, and create unparalleled experiences for our customers.”
This round of funding comes on the heels of another $2 million round for Dirty Dough, provided by TAB Bank.
