Strahm is the franchisee behind the Waterford Lakes, Altamonte Springs and Lake Mary Dave's restaurants. Additionally, he is a multi-unit franchisee of Five Guys in Central Florida. “We’re excited to be in the tourist area with all of the resorts close to Disney... and to be in the west side of Orlando," Strahm said.

The Dave's Hot Chicken brand started as a late-night pop up in Los Angeles. After a review from Eater Los Angeles, the business exploded in popularity and has since grown to around 200 locations globally.
