Saladworks Signs First Deals For 2011 In Virginia Top Open
Salad Franchises.
Salad Franchise Continues Expansion in Fairfax & Loudoun Counties & Virginia Beach, VA.
CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. —
Saladworks, the nation’s first and largest fresh-tossed
salad franchise concept, is proud to announce its first
multi-unit franchise agreements in 2011 with two new franchisees, opening a combined four locations, in Fairfax and Loudoun Counties and Virginia Beach, VA. The first location for both territories is slated to open in early 2012.
New
franchise for Fairfax and Loudoun Counties, Mike Lord, spent 25 years in engineering before deciding it was time to go into business for himself. Lord, of Sterling, VA, recalled visiting a
Saladworks in New Jersey years before.
“I remember thinking, ‘this is great! Why don’t they have this concept in Northern Virginia where I live?’” Lord said. “When I was finally ready to make a career change, I looked into
franchising and did a lot of due diligence on several concepts. I quickly found myself gravitating toward
Saladworks. I knew I could be successful because I truly believe in the product and the system.”
Abdul “Abby” Attal,
franchise owner for Virginia Beach, VA, enters
franchising for the first time with
Saladworks. A self-described “health nut,” Attal found
Saladworks a perfect match for both his personal and professional lifestyle.
“I am a healthy eater, a big salad fan. Once I found Saladworks, I knew I wanted to open one,” said Attal. “I’m really excited to be part of the franchise’s expansion, particularly in Virginia.”
These agreements support Saladworks’ expansion in Virginia, with deals already signed for Richmond, VA. Founded in Southern New Jersey, Saladworks’ presence in New Jersey and Pennsylvania is strong, and the
franchise is expanding its core market footprint with this VA deal and
multi-unit franchise deals in CA, TX, NC, and MD.
Saladworks is coming off of a highly successful 2010, having awarded 48 new
franchise locations to new and existing
franchises last year. The
franchise plans on a similar increase for more expansion, and thus more brand recognition, in 2011.
“I founded
Saladworks in Southern New Jersey 25 years ago with just one store. Now we are experiencing explosive national growth in new markets across the country,” said Founder/CEO, John Scardapane. “The fast-paced, hard working, health conscious consumer base in Virginia makes for a wonderful growth opportunity of a new core market.”
