A fast casual chain that is rapidly expanding their U.S. presence has opened their most recent restaurant inside one of Hudson County’s biggest shopping centers as New York Fries have launched in Jersey City.

Nothing else goes into the fryers except potatoes, making the fries at the restaurant fully vegan, vegetarian and gluten friendly. The menu at the restaurant features fries topped with options including beef chili, pulled pork, queso and crumbled bacon alongside the classic Canadian poutine option that blends beef gravy and Wisconsin cheese curds. Additionally, New York Fries serves all-beef grilled hot dogs and an array of loaded dog options. The company’s next restaurant in the pipeline will also be local, as they will be launching later this year inside the Smith Haven Mall in Lake Grove, New York. “Since opening our first two locations on the East Coast, the reception from communities and fry-lovers has been nothing short of amazing,” said Craig Burt, Chief Operating Officer at New York Fries. “Our concept is a great addition to mall food courts and Newport Centre is the perfect place for our next restaurant. As our fresh-cut fries and all-beef grilled hot dogs continue taking over the East Coast, we’re excited to officially open in Jersey City.” New York Fries can be found on the third floor of the Newport Centre Mall and operates from 11 a.m. until 8 p.m. daily.

Big Changes are Coming for this Major NJ Mall

March 27, 2024

Everybody had a favorite mall growing up, but that’s not as true as it used to be. As the retail landscape continues to evolve stores and malls are adapting to the changes. One of the largest malls in the state is going to be adding several new stores and restaurants, even a new arcade. According to MyCentralJersey.com, there are seven new stores and restaurants slated to open this spring at Menlo Park Mall in Edison. Lululemon, the athleisure wear retailer is one of the new tenants. New York Fries recently opened at the mall; they serve, unsurprisingly, French fries, along with hot dogs and poutine. Another new restaurant is Ramen Ya. It’s known for offering a taste of authentic Japanese ramen tailored to satisfy American tastes. The staff at Ramen Ya have dedicated years to researching and perfecting their ramen dishes through trial and error, as well as numerous visits to Japan to understand the intricacies of traditional ramen preparation. Saladworks is coming, as well. Saladworks is a restaurant franchise that specializes in made-to-order entrée salads, wraps, soups, and sandwiches. It’s known for its fast casual dining experience and markets its menu as a healthy alternative to traditional fast food fare. A new clothing store is UNTUCKit; They offer a variety of styles including wrinkle-free, linen, short-sleeve, performance, and classic button-down shirts. The brand was established in 2011 and is headquartered in New York. One of the more unique new offerings is Gatcha USA, a Japanese-themed arcade that offers a variety of entertainment options. They feature claw machine arcades with a lineup that includes UFO, Single and Double Miracle, Blind Box Machines, and IP Machines. It is scheduled to open in late Spring/early Summer. Onyx Nail Spa is also opening in April.

An Inside Look at 10 Emerging Franchises

March 18, 2024

The concept: Founded in 1983, New York Fries originally featured no-fuss, hand-cut fries made from Idaho potatoes served with a selection of tasty dipping sauces. The brand which features Canadian delicacy poutine - fries topped with beef gravy and Wisconsin cheese curds - has since added a selection of fancy hot dogs to its menu. The stats: The brand is now owned by Recipe Restaurant Group and has more than 130 locations in Canada and nearly a dozen countries including China, Egypt, Panama and Turkey. The company made its return to the U.S. last year, and recently opened its second New Jersey location. The initial investment range is $406,500 to $651,000. The competition: French Fry Heaven, Buena Papa Fry Bar, Mr Fries Man, The Salted Fry and House of Fries, among others. The challenge: Once again, can a french fry-focused concept gain enough takeout and sit-down dining business to keep them going? That's the big question. Even Chief Operating Officer Craig Burt conceded, the companby's "very focused" menu is a challenge for growth. "It really doesn't lend itself well to the street," he told Franchise Times last year. Hence, why the brand is focusing growth on high-traffic areas in airports, universities and outdoor malls.

New York Fries Opens at Menlo Park Mall in Edison, First NJ Spot

March 5, 2024

EDISON, N.J. — The opening of New York Fries at Menlo Park Mall is bringing a new kind of sizzle to the local foodie scene. New York Fries offers a gourmet take on the fresh-cut fries concept, and it had its official New Jersey grand opening Feb. 29 at the mall, with Mayor Sam Joshi leading the township presence. "New York Fries has opened its first location in New Jersey and second in the USA right here @menloparkmall Edison. They serve high quality fries with all kinds of toppings. Check it out!" the mayor posted. With its soft opening earlier last month, the Edison restaurant is the brand’s second restaurant to open within the U.S. this year, the company says, with its first at a Long Island mall. Under its NYF logo, the company has more than 100 restaurants across Canada and 25 throughout the Middle East. So the next time you're at the Dubai Mall, stop by! The company's name originates from the two New York City brothers who came up with the idea, the company says, but made it happen in Canada. Now its coming back home, in a way, to the metro area. It's an admittedly niche menu, with high-quality, fresh-cut fries that are cooked to order. New York Fries, operated under Recipe Restaurant Group, features fries made with Idaho potatoes, served plain or loaded with a variety of toppings, including beef chili, pulled pork, queso and crumbled bacon. Also on the menu is a classic Canadian delicacy - poutine - topped with beef gravy and Wisconsin cheese curds for guests across Edison to discover and enjoy. Additionally, the New York Fries menu features all-beef grilled hot dogs and an array of loaded "dog" options. Ingredients are sourced from Idaho and other local sources here and in Canada, the company says. New York Fries offers a selection of vegetarian options and the fries are gluten free and vegan, the company says. Potatoes are cooked in non-hydrogenated sunflower oil, using a three-stage method. As nothing else goes into the fryers except potatoes, the brand can appeal to those with dietary and allergen restrictions, serving vegan, vegetarian and gluten-friendly items. Also recently, there was an opening of the restaurant in Roosevelt Field Mall in Long Island, the company's first location. One is planned for Smith Haven Mall in Long Island and now Newport Center in Jersey City later this fiscal quarter, the company says. The locations are corporate owned. "Expanding into New Jersey is an amazing next step towards our continued growth across the East Coast and beyond,” said Craig Burt, Chief Operating Officer at New York Fries. “We’ve received such a warm welcome from our opening in Long Island and expect a similar response from the Edison community. We’re thrilled to bring our premium fresh-cut fries to guests across the area and can’t wait for Menlo Park mall goers to try the perfect French fry.” Here are some helpful tips about the new Edison restaurant: Store hours: Mondays to Thursdays 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Fridays to Saturdays 10 a.m. to 9 pm.; Sundays, noon to 6 p.m. Best entrance: Upper level parking deck near the Dining Pavilion. Located in the Dining Pavilion For more information, visit www.newyorkfries.com. The Canadian 130-plus restaurant chain is located in all major mall food courts there, as well as select highway rest stop locations, the company says. As for its parent company, founded in 1883, Recipe Restaurant Group is Canada’s largest full-service restaurant group, and the brands sound intriguing: The company franchises and/or operates such brands as Swiss Chalet, Harvey’s, St-Hubert, The Keg, Montana’s, Kelseys, East Side Mario’s, New York Fries, Bier Markt, The Landing Group of Restaurants, Original Joe’s, State & Main, Elephant & Castle, The Burger’s Priest, The Pickle Barrel, Marigolds & Onions, Blanco Cantina, Añejo, Fresh Kitchen and Juice Bar.

A Canadian french fry restaurant opened its second U.S. location in Edison

February 21, 2024

Canadian-owned chain restaurant New York Fries is back home in the United States — and it started its American journey in New Jersey. The French fry-focused spot opened its second U.S. location Feb. 11 at Menlo Park Mall food court in Edison. A grand opening celebration will take place on Feb. 29. New York Fries serves fresh-cut fries, made with Idaho potatoes, served plain or loaded with toppings like queso and salsa; cheese sauce and crumbled bacon; cheese sauce and beef chili; and sour cream and tomatoes. But its flagship menu item is one that is hard to find on American soil: the Canadian delicacy poutine, which are fries topped with beef gravy and Wisconsin cheese curds. “The gravy melts the curd and gets it nice and stringy," said New York Fries chief operating officer Craig Burt. "And the cheddar cheese curd is made of a young cheese, which gives it a unique flavor.” New York Fries cooks its fries in sunflower oil and serves each order in 30 seconds. “The fries are golden brown and crispy, and the inside is fluffy like a baked potato,” Burt said. “And the only thing that goes through our fryers are potatoes, so there are no other flavors coming in. You’re tasting the true Idaho potato flavor.” New York Fries may be new to Americans (there is also a Long Island location), but it’s a staple in Canada where it has more than 100 locations. It also has 25 Middle East locations. In Canada, fresh-cut fries are found everywhere from ball parks to roadside stands, said Burt. The brand, which is owned by Canada’s largest restaurant company Recipe Restaurant Group, originated in New York when it was founded in the early 1980s. The New York location closed in 1984, but by that time, it was already flourishing in Canada after a Canadian was licensed to open stores. By April, a Jersey City restaurant location will also be open, as will another Long Island location.

With over 100 restaurants across Canada and 25 throughout the Middle East, New York Fries is widely recognized as the go-to destination for high-quality, fresh-cut fries that are cooked to order. “Off the heels of our exciting reentrance into the United States with our Roosevelt Field Mall opening, expanding into New Jersey is an amazing next step towards our continued growth across the East Coast and beyond,” Craig Burt, chief operating officer at New York Fries, said. “We’ve received such a warm welcome from our opening in Long Island and expect a similar response from the Edison community. We’re thrilled to bring our premium fresh-cut fries to guests across the area and can’t wait for Menlo Park mall goers to try the perfect French fry.”

New York Fries Opens at Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City

February 3, 2024

If French fries are your jam, you might remember back to 1983 when a small shop launched in Manhattan’s South Street Seaport dedicated to selling, yep, fries. Fascinated by the concept, Canadian entrepreneurs and brothers Jay and Hal Gould secured the Canadian rights to the New York Fries brand — buying it out completely in 1987 — and replicated the fry concept across Canadian food courts, leaving its namesake city behind. Nearly 40 years later, the brand has finally returned to the U.S. market, with its first shop in Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City. The niche concept stars fresh cut, cooked-to-order Idaho potatoes, served plain (with your choice of dipping sauce like ranch or chipotle aioli), or loaded with a variety of decadent toppings including beef chili, pulled pork, queso, pickled jalapeños, salsa and crumbled bacon. Given the brand’s popularity and growth in Canada, a classic poutine— topped with brown gravy and Wisconsin cheese curds — also makes an appearance. Three sizes of fries are available, from $4.59 for snack-sized plain fries to $11.99 for large loaded fries. Additionally, the brand has evolved to feature a second all- American item: All-beef hot dogs ($5.79) with a slate of equally loaded frankfurter toppings. Potatoes here are cooked in nonhydrogenated sunflower oil, and those with dietary and allergy restrictions can rest assured that nothing else touches the fryers, making New York Fries a vegan, vegetarian and glutenfriendly experience. Over the coming months, an additional New York Fries location will open in the Smith Haven Mall in Lake Grove.

New Store Coming to Roosevelt Field, Walt Whitman and Smith Haven Malls in 2024

January 29, 2024

New shopping and dining experiences are coming to Long Island malls this year. That includes Roosevelt Field in Uniondale, Walt Whitman Shops in Huntington Station and Smith Haven Mall in Lake Grove — and it’s a win-win. After all, you’re apt to want to grab a bite or a drink when you shop 'til you drop. Sloane Grober plans to do precisely that when athleticwear specialist Alo Yoga opens in the first quarter of the year at Roosevelt Field. “I’ve been following their plans to open on Long Island,” says Grober, 34, a mom of three and a retail consultant who lives in Syosset. “They’re always bringing out new products,” she says, adding that she now shops the brand online and in Manhattan. “Having a store locally, you actually can touch and feel the products, and try them on. It’s instant gratification, a complete experience.” Industry figures show that consumers welcome that at brick-and-mortar stores. “Ecommerce has grown enormously and, of course, got turbocharged during the pandemic. But physical retail still accounts for the vast majority of the business — more than 80%,” says Mark Cohen, director of retail studies at Columbia University in Manhattan. “Customers still want to touch, feel and experience.” GlassesUSA and New York Fries are now open at Roosevelt Field mall in Uniondale.

New York Fries Comes Home After Decade Growing in Canada

January 26, 2024

After leaving its namesake state nearly 40 years ago, New York Fries made its return with the opening of its store in Roosevelt Field, a mall in Garden City, New York. Its time in Canada proved the concept has staying power, and its parent company, Recipe Restaurant Group, is confident in mirroring that success in the United States. “It’s an interesting thing in Canada,” said Craig Burt, chief operating officer. “Fresh-cut fries are very common on roadsides and special events and things like that.” Founded in 1983, New York Fries originally only featured no-fuss, hand-cut fries. As a successful snack brand, it caught the attention of Canadian entrepreneurs and brothers Jay and Hal Gould. The pair bought the brand after its first location in New York closed, making it a Canada-exclusive brand for years. Now under Recipe Restaurant Group—which also owns The Keg, Elephant and Castle and more—New York Fries has more than 130 locations in Canada. Its menu has expanded over the last four decades, adding options such as poutine and hot dogs, but the core of it remains the same: hand-cut fries prepared to order. The first new U.S. location experienced a strong launch, Burt said, and the hotdogs are a popular choice. The company plans to open three more locations before March. “The concept has evolved into hot dogs and premium fries,” said Dave Colebrook, president and co-founder of Recipe Restaurant Group. “It’s in nearly every mall in Canada.” New York Fries leaders considered returning to the U.S. for years. The question was where and when. Based on brand research, a return to New York was the best play. The pandemic created more real estate opportunity for the company as concepts moved out of malls and left gaps in food courts, Burt said. Malls and high-foot-traffic areas are the ideal markets for New York Fries, Burt said. The brand, which can operate in a space as small as 250 square feet, is able to find success without taking up the space of a traditional restaurant. Burt said the brand is looking at airports, universities and outdoor malls, particularly in southern states, for further expansion. The company’s “very focused” menu is a challenge for growth, Burt said. “It really doesn’t lend itself well to the street,” he said. For now, growth is concentrated along the East Coast. New York Fries aims to open four total locations within the first quarter, with possibly a few more before Christmas, Burt said. The total initial investment for a New York Fries is $406,500 to $651,000. “The beauty of the concept is that it serves as both a meal location and a snack location,” said Colebrook. “We see aggressive growth for New York Fries.”

New York Fries marks return to U.S. with 2 Long Island food court spots

January 15, 2024

What started in New York City’s South Street in 1983 before heading for Canada is returning in full-force to the U.S., starting with two Long Island store locations. We’re talking about New York Fries. For the uninitiated, New York Fries is exactly what you might think, a French fry shop. But, according to the company, NYF differentiates itself by cooking its freshly cut potatoes in non-hydrogenated sunflower oil using a unique, three-stage method. You then get a bunch a dips to choose from. They also dish out hot dogs, poutine and loaded fries. New York Fries opened at the food cart at Roosevelt Field in Garden City on Jan. 9, and is expected to open its next mall food court location at Smith Haven Mall in Lake Grove “this winter,” a press announcement reads. “This New York opening marks a significant milestone for us,” says Craig Burt, chief operating officer at New York Fries. “As a brand that got its start serving three sizes of fresh-cut fries and three sizes of soda in New York City back in 1983, we’re thrilled to make our official return and bring our fry-based menu to fry-lovers across the state and eventually across the East Coast.” New York Fries had left the city to become a staple in food courts across Canada. The company was acquired by Recipe Restaurant Group, Canada’s largest full-service restaurant company, in 2015. Today it has more than 100 restaurants across Canada and 25 throughout the Middle East. There are also plans to open two more spots in the Tri-State area later this winter. Those will be in the Menlo Park Mall in Edison, N.J.; and Newport Center in Jersey City, N.J.

French Fry Eatery Returns To US With New Garden City Location

January 9, 2024

Calling all French fry lovers. New York Fries, an eatery serving up decadent dishes such as poutine and more, opened up at the Roosevelt Field Mall, located in Garden City, on Tuesday, Jan. 9 – a big move for the company, as it marks the chain’s first foray back into the US market. As one may glean by the name, the chain started in New York City’s South Street Seaport in 1983 but soon moved to Canada and became a staple of the country’s food courts. It now successfully operates over 100 restaurants in Canada alongside 25 throughout the Middle East. Now, however, New York Fries is looking back to its roots. For an eatery specializing in one dish, New York Fries is anything but boring in the different combinations of loaded fries and poutines it offers. Though it started with only three sizes each of fresh-cut fries and soda, the spot currently has nine types of loaded fries, from a pulled pork poutine (with BBQ sauce and Wisconsin cheese curds) to “Flamin’ Bacon” (with chipotle aioli, hot sauce, and pickled jalapenos), to even a vegetarian option (smothered in cheese sauce, sour cream, green onions, and tomatoes). Those looking for a quick snack can also try the fries all on their own (or paired with a sauce on the side), which are cooked in a non-hydrogenated sunflower oil in a three-step method which the company claims is unique to New York Fries. For those searching for more than just fries, the eatery serves up hot dogs, both plain and loaded, just like its fry options. “This New York opening marks a significant milestone for us,” Craig Burt, Chief Operating Officer at New York Fries said in a press release about the Garden City opening. “...We’re thrilled to make our official return and bring our fry-based menu to fry-lovers across the state and eventually across the East Coast.” The company aims to expand further this winter, with plans set in motion to open a location at the Smith Haven Mall in Lake Grove as well as two in New Jersey.
