Florida Restaurant Franchise Group Welcome to South Florida!
We are Florida Restaurant Franchise Group (FRFG), a leading team of experienced restaurateurs in South Florida. Our passion for great food and entertainment has been instrumental to our success. The EB-5 Visa program has allowed us to share our passion with our customers and better yet, bring much needed jobs and economic growth to South Florida.
As President of Florida Restaurant Franchise Group, I am ecstatic about the overwhelming success of our restaurants. My team and I are developing nationally recognized franchise restaurants like VooDoo BBQ & Grill and Twin Peaks, which are quickly becoming popular in Florida.
The EB-5 investors have already fully funded the first phase of the VooDoo BBQ & Grill expansion in Florida,
with 2 locations already fully operational.
Our rapid expansion of VooDoo BBQ & Grill and Twin Peaks is credited to the unique concepts of both brands, offering customers a different approach to dining.
VooDoo BBQ & Grill is a New Orleans restaurant franchise, serving mouth-watering barbecue in Cajun Creole and Caribbean spices. While, Twin Peaks offers a mountain sports lodge ambiance and provides boldly flavored comfort food enjoyed by customers across 13 states and soon to open in South Florida.
I welcome the opportunity to share my success with you and let you experience the delicious food our customers love nationwide!

The EB-5 Regional Center Program allows eligible aliens the opportunity to become lawful permanent U.S. residents by investing $500,000 into a qualified EB-5 project in a USCIS designated Regional Center and create at least 10 permanent American jobs per individual investment.
Most Regional Centers are located within a “Targeted Employment Area” which is an area that, at the time of investment, is a rural area or an area experiencing unemployment of at least 150 percent of the national average rate.
As such, the EB-5 Regional Center Program is one of the most flexible immigration programs in the world, allowing foreigners to gain permanent United States residency for themselves, their spouse, and any unmarried children under the age of 21, through their EB-5 investment.
Created in 1990, the EB-5 program has contributed more than $1.5 billion into the U.S. economy and has resulted in the realization of American dream for over 2,000 foreign immigrants in the last year alone. Below are some of the benefits enjoyed by the EB-5 investors:

Advantages of the Palm Beach Regional Center
Previous Approvals: Previous EB-5 Projects within the Palm Beach Regional Center have received close to 80 approvals on the I-526 petitions. A total of 5 EB-5 projects have already been sponsored by the Palm Beach Regional Center. Attractive Minimal Participation Levels The Palm Beach Regional Center allows foreign investors to invest in prearranged programs at two levels of investment - $500,000 in more than forty county-wide locations that have unemployment at 150% or more of the national average. Desirable Location Although EB-5 investors are free to live anywhere in the United States they wish, those interested in participation will find a great satisfaction in making their home in one of America’s most desirable locations.
Palm Beach Regional Center
Palm Beach Regional Center is approved by USCIS to operate in the Florida counties of Miami/Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, Port St. Lucie, Indian River, Hendry, Okeechobee and Charlotte. It is a great place to discover the wealth of opportunity that exists in the United States. Here in the center of the Western Hemisphere is a blossoming international business capital, already recognized for its magnificent climate, gorgeous beaches and golf courses, as well as its famous real estate.
The region is blessed with numerous high-growth industries, such as bioscience and aquatech, and its rich multiculturalism makes it a comfortable destination for tourists and business people from all over the world. As the region evolves into a global gateway, a bounty of opportunities are constantly emerging.
The Palm Beach Regional Center presents an opportunity to consider investment in a variety of different projects. These projects are carefully vetted and selected upon the basis of their ability to meet stringent criteria while meeting EB-5 standards in creating employment.
The Palm Beach Regional Center is operated by Palm Beach Investment and Finance. It was established in 2008 with the intent of developing local industries, creating jobs and economic growth for the region,

The life cycle of an EB-5 based petition is divided into two parts – the approval of the I-
526, and the actual adjustment of status or consular processing. The initial part, which is
the processing of the I-526, can take from 3 months to 12 months. The approval of the I-
526 is a crucial part of the petition, as USCIS evaluates, at this time, whether the EB-5
investment follows the guidelines imposed by law.
What is “lawful source of funds”?
In order for the EB-5 investor to become a US legal resident or green card holder, the EB-
5 investor must be able to show to USCIS that the capital invested in the job-creating
entity was obtained through lawful means. Income tax returns, evidence of acquisition
and sales of property (in the US and abroad), and evidence of gift of funds are among
some of the documents your immigration attorney will likely request in order to establish
that the capital invested was earned through lawful means.
What happens if the investor’s green card is denied?
Since investors are fearful that they will lose their money if their green card application
(I-526) is denied, we have established a 100% refund policy of all investment funds and
applicable fees. To further assure approval, we have employed the services of some of the
most experienced EB-5 attorneys in the country to review each investor’s petition before
it is submitted to USCIS to help assure a streamlined approval process and reduce the
chances for a denial. Please reference all offering documents for complete explanation of
refund policy.
What is your experience with developing and running a franchise?
Florida Restaurant Franchise Group has a combined 30 years of success in running
various national franchise operations. Most recently, Joe Sloboda and his team developed
and operated the fast food concept of Five Guys Burgers and Fries in the greater Miami
area. Five Guys has been one of the fastest growing restaurant chains in the United States
and has approximately 900 stores. The location ran by Mr. Flechner in Miami Beach, was
in the top 5 highest-grossing stores in the country.
