With no food prep, low overhead, and high repeat revenue, Project LeanNation is the first national franchise delivering healthy prepared meals—and community-driven wellness—in a manager-run retail model.
Project LeanNation (PLN) is a unique prepared meal franchise that operates with centralized manufacturing and distribution—eliminating the need for in-store cooking or specialized staff. Franchisees run simple brick-and-mortar locations offering dietitian-approved, grab-and-go meals paired with personalized coaching, accountability, and smart nutrition tech. The result: strong retention, recurring revenue, and a business you don’t need to run yourself.
