Currently,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/chop5/info">Chop5</a> operates two corporate-owned stores in Columbus, Ohio, and Orlando, Florida.To facilitate its franchising efforts, Chop5 has partnered with franchise advisory company&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ccgro.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=louisville-business-first-small-plates-louisville-businessman-plots-expansion-of-ohio-based-restaurant-chain-2726915" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Conscious Capital Growth</a>. Hertzman, experienced in franchising with brands like Long John Silver's, Rally's and Papa Johns, launched Chop5 in 2016 with four partners. All five founders had experience as franchisees and wanted to build a model leveraging all of the lessons they’d learned along the way. They aimed to create a franchise-friendly business model, first proving its viability with their own stores.Chop5 differentiates itself from competitors like Green District and Sweetgreen by offering warm proteins and rice bowls alongside its customizable salads. Unlike other salad concepts, CHOP5 stands out by chopping and preparing fresh, chef-inspired salads right in front of customers.&nbsp;“Right now, we're all just talking to a bunch of prospective candidates that we're getting,”Hertzman told&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bizjournals.com/louisville/news/2024/06/21/chop5-louisville-franchising.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=louisville-business-first-small-plates-louisville-businessman-plots-expansion-of-ohio-based-restaurant-chain-2726915" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Louisville Business First.</a> “We had a large franchisee with over 100 locations of another concept who called us last week.”The experienced leadership team understands the importance of having a proven model before franchising, which is why they are only just starting to offer franchise opportunities now. Franchising with Chop5 offers franchisees a unique opportunity to join an emerging brand at the ground floor while still enjoying all the benefits of an established and expert leadership team that has been in the franchise food industry for decades.&nbsp;Read the full article&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bizjournals.com/louisville/news/2024/06/21/chop5-louisville-franchising.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=louisville-business-first-small-plates-louisville-businessman-plots-expansion-of-ohio-based-restaurant-chain-2726915" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.To find out more information on costs to buy this franchise, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/chop5">https://1851franchise.com/chop5</a>.
