Tipsy Moose owners Brendan Brader and Rob Tario announced the new franchising opportunities on October 9. The local chain was founded in Latham in 2016. In October 2023, the owners expanded the Tipsy Moose brand by opening Tipsy Taco Cantina in Latham .
“When the first Tipsy Moose opened eight years ago in a small spot with limited parking, we had high hopes for success, but never could have predicted how well-received and loved it’s become,” said Tario. “It was a dream to bring a piece of the Adirondacks and my childhood to life, combined with my love for the restaurant business. I am eternally grateful to everyone who has supported the Moose. None of this would be possible without family, friends, and patrons. It’s a privilege to serve people and I hope expanding through franchising allows future owners to enjoy this as much as I do.”
