Washington’s Matchbox chain of casual restaurants is seeking $11 million from public investors to fund a national expansion to 48 locations by 2020.
The Matchbox Food Group has raised $9 million so far and is launching a Web site for qualified investors starting May 29 to reach its goal of $20 million.
“We are going national,” said Matchbox chief financial officer Harvey Metro. “We are going with a big-boy strategy.”
