Keep reading to learn why now is a great time to invest and how to open a salad restaurant franchise with Chop Stop!
A Business That Stands Out
For years, salad restaurants have been dominated by the “salad bar” concept in which customers can create their own salads with an assortment of ingredients that they choose themselves. They make their selection from a familiar array of dressings and toppings and pay by the visit or by the pound. Chop Stop is different! Our founders noticed that good chopped salads are hard to come by in many restaurants – a bane to diners who are seeking to eat healthier. Chopped salads, like the ones offered by Chop Stop, are unique; the fine selection of salad allows diners to enjoy the combination of flavors in a whole new way.
Chop Stop took things to the next level by offering generous portion sizes, with many of our salads weighing in at around a pound! We also have designed a menu of proprietary salad blends – designed with innovative ingredients and flavor combinations – and all are complete with our own branded salad dressings. This makes it difficult for customers to replicate our salads anywhere else, and we stand out from our competition in the salad bar sector.
