Mattes’ franchise career started at Netspace, a nationwide provider of DSL and wireless broadband internet. Before joining Saladworks, Mattes managed a staff at Cruise Planners, the largest home-based travel agent network.

At Saladworks, Mattes’ main focus is directing the franchise expansion efforts of the Nation’s #1 Salad Franchise.

“Saladworks has spent the last two years gearing up for national expansion in spite of the economy,” said Saladworks’ Founder/CEO, John Scardapane. “Bringing Jason on board with his vast experience is a perfect fit for our aggressive growth model, and an integral piece in the puzzle of nationwide expansion.”

Mattes joins Saladworks as the franchise concept continues to expand in new markets coast to coast. Saladworks’ entrance into Orange County, CA and Knox County, TN, are all planned for late 2010 into early 2011.
