Saladworks, the nation’s first and largest fresh-tossed salad franchise concept, announces today that it has signed an agreement with a multi-unit developer for eight restaurant locations in Orange County, California. Areas of interest for development include Irvine, Anaheim, Costa Mesa, and Mission Viejo. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
“Even in this economy, Saladworks has proven that it is a sellable conceptâ€
John Scardapane founded Saladworks in 1986 in Southern New Jersey on the principle of offering fresh, made-to-order, entrée-sized salads and signature soups as an alternative food offering for consumers on the go. The first Saladworks opened in a mall food court and it quickly became the highest grossing restaurant concept, easily lending itself to franchising opportunities.
