How CHOP5 Provides Best in Class Support to Franchisees

CHOP5 Salad Kitchen, the Ohio-born franchise known for exceptional chopped salads, wraps, crave-a-bowls and more, is poised to become a leading salad concept. Early franchisees will have a significant opportunity to shape the brand's future while capitalizing on a proven business model and impressive leadership team. 

The original CHOP5 location opened in Columbus, Ohio, in 2016 and immediately developed a loyal following. The brand’s focus on high-quality, chef-crafted salads, wraps and bowls meets modern consumers' desire for quick and healthy meals. 

“We specialize in flavor, which is something unique, especially for the salad industry,” said Kim Pettingell, marketing director at CHOP5. 

Beyond the innovative concept, one of the most compelling benefits of joining CHOP5 is the unprecedented access to the leadership team. This isn’t just any leadership team; it comprises several passionate and successful large-scale restaurant franchisees who collectively operate more than 400 restaurants across the country, including Jersey Mike's, Papa John's and Qdoba. Their expertise has been integrated into a best-in-class training program for franchisees.

“When you come into CHOP5 and you're interested in becoming a franchisee, we are going to spend our time in training you and making sure you understand the system,” said Brian Mills, CHOP5 co-founder. 

And although the leadership team is experienced, they are also down-to-Earth and know that mistakes can happen. Their attitude to making things right provides franchisees with the supportive environment they need to thrive.

For entrepreneurs looking to enter the healthy fast-casual space, finding available territory and a reputable concept is crucial. Franchisees of CHOP5 benefit from great market territory availability, allowing them to choose prime locations coupled with a leadership team and support with decades of experience. 

Overall, CHOP5 offers franchisees a unique opportunity within franchising: joining an emerging brand at the ground floor while still enjoying all the benefits of an established and expert leadership team. 

“We've worked really hard to make sure that we have all the materials and processes and procedures and training manuals that will help you and support you through the process of opening a CHOP5,” said Pettingell. 

This dedication to comprehensive support ensures that franchisees are well-equipped to succeed in the competitive fast-casual dining sector.

Even more rare is the chance to join a team that truly cares not only about the brand’s success, but the entire team’s success. 

“Allen Hertzman and I have been partners, off and on, for 25 years,” said Mills. “So the loyalty we have with each other goes way beyond just business people. Allen and Patrick Gaunce’s (two of our founders) fathers did business together, and so we have a team that just truly cares. And if you come into our fold, we're going to care about you, and I'm sure you'll care about us, and it'll be a win, win situation for everyone.”

With its commitment to franchisee support, CHOP5 stands out as a compelling choice for entrepreneurs looking to make their mark in the fast-casual industry.
