With three company-owned locations in Ohio and Florida, Chop5 is franchising to capitalize on the growing demand for healthier dining options. However, the brand is prioritizing finding the right franchise partners over explosive growth.“We’re patient,” Mills said. “We all started with relatively nothing, our group. And all have become relatively successful. We want to pay that forward. We want to give that opportunity to other people.”<a href="https://brickcityvegan.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=chop5-franchise-restaurant-business-5-pre-emerging-restaurant-brands-2726537" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Brick City Vegan</a>, founded by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/adenah-bayoh-b7285919/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=chop5-franchise-restaurant-business-5-pre-emerging-restaurant-brands-2726537" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Adenah Bayoh</a> in 2021, is another notable brand.

The concept, which includes two locations in New Jersey, aims to start franchising and seeks patient capital for further growth.<a href="https://www.sipfreshjuice.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=chop5-franchise-restaurant-business-5-pre-emerging-restaurant-brands-2726537" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sip Fresh</a>, founded by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sharon-arthofer-4a646329/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=chop5-franchise-restaurant-business-5-pre-emerging-restaurant-brands-2726537" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sharon Arthofer</a>, is a beverage concept that offers fresh juices and blended drinks prepared by “sip-istas” in front of guests.
