EON:
John Scardapane, Founder/CEO of Saladworks, the nation’s first and largest fresh-tossed salad franchise concept, has been hitting the road for over a year visiting franchisees in locations across the country to express personal commitment to their success. Currently, Saladworks has over 100 locations in 12 states – and counting!
One of Saladworks’ core values, to “value each other,†is clearly represented in these visits. The Saladworks value states that a humble leader should know that each member is an important component and necessary for a successful team. Scardapane exemplifies this value in his personalized visits with each franchisee in the system.
Scardapane and his team, including VP of Brand Services and each location’s business coach, travel together several times a month to continue to improve relations and communication with franchisees. The team and the franchisees have open dialogue about operations, marketing, new product development, and the company’s strategy.
