That speed — along with consistency, location strategy and a deeply loyal team — has made Labosco a model franchisee for Auntie Anne's nontraditional playbook. "Built for speed"Labosco's success is part of a larger trend: Auntie Anne's (#87 on the 2025 Franchise 500) outside-the-box strategy. According to parent company GoTo Foods' chief development officer Bobby Morena, "Auntie Anne's is built for speed — and speed is king in high-volume spaces."
