All American Specialty Restaurants Franchise

All American Specialty Restaurants specialize in ice cream, frozen yogurt, deli sandwiches, and espresso. All American Specialty restaurants were one of the first of the food franchises to specialize in frozen yogurts, back in the mid1980’s.

Ice cream was added to the menu in 1989 in order to attract more customers and soon after that sandwiches and other foods were added.

Currently they operate four main service restaurants namely: All American Ice cream & Frozen Yogurt, Sertinos Café Restaurant, All American Deli, and Sertinos Coffee shop.
