CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa.--()--Saladworks, the nation’s first and largest fresh-tossed salad franchise concept, is opening its fourth California location in The Plaza LaFayette Shopping Center, 13041 Newport Ave., Tustin, CA.
“I was looking into a lot of different concepts at the time, but I couldn’t get behind them. I didn’t want to get involved with a franchise that didn’t provide healthy food to its customers. To me, Saladworks is the perfect fit.”
This is the fourth of fifteen total locations planned for California. Sacramento Airport was Saladworks’ first endeavor than followed by Costa Mesa Saladworks which opened in early 2011. These two were followed by Village at Orange Saladworks that opened just a few months ago. The Saladworks brand continues to expand its presence on the West Coast with additional stores opening in Seattle, Texas and Arizona.
Karen Weber is no stranger to the food business. In her 25 years with Trader Joe’s, she managed several locations and understands the importance of quality, service and cleanliness in the industry.
“When I read about the first set of stores coming to California I thought, this is me,” Weber said. “I was looking into a lot of different concepts at the time, but I couldn’t get behind them. I didn’t want to get involved with a franchise that didn’t provide healthy food to its customers. To me, Saladworks is the perfect fit.”
The Saladworks concept was born in Cherry Hill, NJ more than 25 years ago. Although a long way from Cherry Hill to Orange County California the Brand is leaving its mark and making fans across the country.
“We are thrilled to open our fourth California location; the success of our California operators is just the tip of the iceberg for our West Coast expansion,” said chairman and CEO John Scardapane. “Tustin Saladworks is one of more than 25 locations that we plan to open in 2012. Karen Weber with her experience, tenacity and commitment to customer service is an integral part of our growth.”
