Among these,&nbsp;<a href="https://chop5.com/own-a-franchise?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=chop5-franchise-restaurant-business-5-pre-emerging-restaurant-brands-2726537" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Chop5</a> stands out as a promising salad concept that has weathered initial challenges and is now ready to expand through franchising.&nbsp;Founded by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-mills-745bb69b/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=chop5-franchise-restaurant-business-5-pre-emerging-restaurant-brands-2726537" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Brian Mills</a> and other franchise operators in 2016,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/chop5/info">Chop5</a> offers a customizable salad experience where guests can watch their chosen ingredients being chopped and tossed with their preferred dressing. 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. Bayoh, a former IHOP franchisee, created this plant-based restaurant to address the lack of fresh, whole food options in underserved communities. Partnering with chef Emeka Onugha, Brick City Vegan offers a menu featuring plant-based sandwiches, bowls and shakes. 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.
