New York Metro — Hudson Franchise Ventures, a newly launched franchise development and international expansion advisory firm, announced that it has signed more than 12 U.S. franchise brands for international expansion within approximately two months of opening its doors.
Founded by franchise industry veteran Steven Gardner, Hudson Franchise Ventures specializes in helping established U.S. franchise brands expand into international markets through master franchise, area development, joint venture, and strategic partnership opportunities.
The firm's early growth reflects increasing global demand for established U.S. franchise concepts across restaurant, fitness, wellness, retail, and service sectors.
Our objective from day one has been simple said Gardner. "Connect outstanding franchise brands with experienced international operators and investors who have the capital infrastructure, and local market expertise to build great businesses.
Gardner brings more than three decades of franchise development experience, having worked with dozens of emerging and established brands while participating in more than 1,000 franchise transactions throughout his career.
Hudson Franchise Ventures is currently working with brands across multiple categories and is actively pursuing expansion opportunities throughout the Middle East, Europe, Canada, Latin America, and other high-growth international markets. Unlike traditional franchise sales organizations, Hudson Franchise Ventures focuses on identifying qualified master franchisees, area developers, institutional investors, family offices, and strategic operating partners capable of developing substantial regional franchise networks.
"The international franchise market continues to present tremendous opportunities for brands with strong unit economics and proven operating systems" Gardner added.
As Hudson Franchise Ventures continues its growth, the firm expects to announce additional brand partnerships, international market entries, and strategic development agreements throughout the remainder of 2026.
