A fast-casual salad chain is counting on Maryland's appetite for healthful eating.
Saladworks will open at least three new stores in Anne Arundel, Howard, and Baltimore Counties within the next three years, franchisees Derek Morrell and Nicole Roudiez say. The first will open during the first half of 2011. Each store will employ between 15 and 30.
The exact locations have not yet been determined.
Saladworks franchisees spend anywhere between $247,000 and $475,000 to open each location. Stores average between 700 and 2,000 square feet.
The company touts the fact that it features an array of salads with fewer than 300 calories. The restaurant, which currently has one store in downtown Baltimore at Harborplace, also sells wraps, sandwiches, and soups.
Morrell says the targeted counties are an "untapped market" and there's "nothing like it" in Annapolis, where both he and Roudiez grew up.
The entrepreneurs are looking at mall food courts and retail strip centers along with other locations where there is good visibility and high traffic.
Saladworks operates over 100 franchise locations in 12 states. In addition to its existing stores, the chain currently has over 60 units in development across the country.
Based in Conshohocken, Pa., Saladworks recently signed deals in Delaware, Virginia, Texas and California, according to spokeswoman Erin Salvatore.
