Who We Are

A Tampa Bay operator built for franchise growth.

Ocean Investors Group is a Tampa Bay based franchise development and operating company. We partner with growing national brands to secure territory, build standout locations, and run them to the highest standard.

Today we develop and operate Keke's Breakfast Cafe and Chicken Guy! across Tampa Bay, two of the country's standout franchise concepts, supported by a management and operating team more than 200 strong. We know this market because we live and work in it, every corridor, every daypart, every guest.

Ocean Investors Group operates with the infrastructure and resources of a larger Tampa Bay enterprise behind every location we open. When a brand grants us territory, it gets an operator with the capital, the people, and the discipline to grow it right, and the standard we hold ourselves to is the standard we hold the guest experience to in every location we run.

Our Market

We know Tampa Bay because we operate here.
