Company Overview Video And Interview With Dr. Fredrick Jacobs, CEO Of Celebrity's Soul Food, Continues Below...
Question From The Scoop: Can you give us an update about the launch of your franchise which we understand is the first national and also fastest growing soul food franchise in America?
Dr. Fredrick Jacobs: “Celebrity’s Soul Food is currently in an expansion phase in North America. In partnership with United Franchise Group, they set a 200-location rollout goal. To date, more than 24 franchisee partners have signed on to grow brand presence across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. More than 30 units are actively under development.”
Question From The Scoop: Where did you get your passion for food?
Dr. Fredrick Jacobs:" My passion for food came from my grandmother and my mother, at early age, probably around four or five, being with them all the time in the kitchen, where everyone was outside playing. I was in the kitchen with them. Since that early age, I saw that food and cooking always brought our families together.”
Question From The Scoop: Your food is known for it's delectable seasoning. Can you tell us about your approach to using spices?
Dr. Fredrick Jacobs: “With my African American, and Indian descent on my mother's side, I also know spices. I traveled all around the world, studying under some of the best chefs and cooks around the world that taught me. That was the best education I could ever get! It’s these chefs, as well as those grandmas who took me in their kitchens and shared with me their generational recipes who taught me. For that, I am grateful.”
Question From The Scoop: You seem to have your hands in all aspects of your business. Do you do a lot of multitasking as CEO?
Dr. Fredrick Jacobs: “For me, there is no such thing multi-tasking. There’s just focusing on one thing and then shifting—quickly—to the next. And if there is only one thing, I focus on in any one day it’s my power customer. So many concepts are always chasing those infrequent users. I want to focus on the ones who put bread on my table. They are my stars. My celebrities. And you better believe I treat them that way!”
When asked to share about Celebrity’s infrastructure, Dr. Jacobs stated, “The Celebrity’s Soul Food experience operates like a start up with the infrastructure of an established brand.” He adds, “We have a complete management team, from development to vendor relations and even a sustainability officer.”
Taja Jacobs, Celebrity’s Soul Food Sustainability Officer says, “We built a test kitchen and employed Chef David, our fulltime culinary genius, to help bring the taste of our brand to life in a way that allows our franchisees to make a profit and our celebrity guests to believe they just ate the best meal of their life at an unbelievably affordable rate. But more than roles, we employ a diversity of perspectives. I love meat but not everyone does, so we also have vegetarian selections available.”
Celebrity’s Soul Food serves up soul food at its finest and pairs it with high-level customer service that aims to make every guest feel like a VIP.
“Celebrity’s Soul Food has had the fortune of serving a broad range of customers, including numerous celebrities through our executive catering service,” says Dr. Fredrick Jacobs. “We wanted to combine the elevated culinary experience of fine dining with the convenience and ease of casual dining. Guests have the opportunity to enjoy high quality soul food and great service without breaking the bank or breaking out their formal wear.”
