Saladworks,
the nation’s first and largest fresh-tossed salad franchise concept,
announces two new agreements with existing franchisees to further
develop the Pennsylvania and New Jersey markets. The two
sets of franchisees are former Saladworks customers turned business
owners, planning to open their newest locations in 2011.
Franchisees Rami Barakat and James Roeder plan to develop a new
store in Jenkintown, PA. The pair already own and operate
successful stores in Montgomeryville and Lansdale, PA, and expansion has
always been a part of their business goals.
“We were interested in franchising because we wanted a support
network – and we have that in Saladworks,” Barakat said. “We
wanted to be multi-unit owners from the time we opened our first store,
so we’re happy to be adding a third location in proximity to our
existing stores.”
Husband and wife, Victor and Cheri Cecchin, are looking to open
their second location in Washington Township, NJ, a great addition to
their already successful location in Clementon, NJ.
With confidence in the Saladworks concept,
the Cecchins knew they wanted to expand as well. “Once
everything was up and running in our Clementon location, we were ready
to start working on the next store,” Cheri Cecchin said.
“The large majority of Saladworks franchisees starts their
business with one unit and quickly become multi-unit operators. This
is a real validation of the success of our brand and how closely the
whole system works together,” said Saladworks Founder/CEO, John
Scardapane. “Saladworks’ success is directly related to the
success of our franchisees, and we’re thrilled to watch them grow.”
