At Rappaport, we pride ourselves on helping brands—both national and local—expand strategically, no matter where they are in their growth journey. That’s why we are thrilled to work with Nash & Smashed, a unique concept serving smash burgers and Nashville fried chicken along with creative sides and drinks.
When we began working with the franchise owner in 2016, the vision was clear: to create a strategic plan that would ensure stability and longevity as the brand rolled out across the D.C. area and beyond. Fast forward to 2023, Nash & Smashed opened its first location in Manassas, VA. Today, the brand has grown exponentially, with over 25 locations either open or signed across D.C., Maryland, and Virginia and many more under negotiation.
But our services don’t stop in the DMV. That’s why we’ve also established strategic partnerships with brokerage firms in key markets like Richmond, VA Beach, New York City, Orlando, and North Carolina to ensure Nash & Smashed’s expansion can continue nationwide.
“Working on Nash and Smashed from idea, to execution, to rollout has been an invigorating experience,” said Christian Kingston, Rappaport VP, Head of Leasing. “As the brand expands, we continue to build new strategies. By pairing our intrinsic market knowledge with the demographic and consumer behavior data we can gather from each new location, we have been able to create personalized plans to ensure success for each franchisee.”

Whether you’re a local concept looking to make your mark or a national brand seeking to scale, Rappaport’s tenant advisory services are designed to help you navigate every stage of your growth. From strategic planning to market partnerships, we’re here to help you expand with purpose and precision.
